Psychotic Individualism

[PsyOps (Premo)]

Charlie Rose interviewed Tony Kushner on his making of the Spielberg film 'Lincoln'. These are the progressives making our movies. They aren't out there only to entertain us anymore; they are going to educate us; educate us on how great government is:

Charlie Rose - Tony Kushner

Rose: The definition of the role of government is an ongoing theme of American politics…

Kushner: So you have these people, like the Tea Party people, protesting government and then asked if they really want to give up their Social Security payments, and they don’t seem to know that that’s actually a part of what government is. There’s a rejection of this sort of basic idea of human community behind the Reagan-era ideology that is really frightening, and it leads us to terrible, terrible places. And now that we’re facing challenges like climate change, that absolutely demand a global collective response, an organized global collective response; we have no hope for survival as a species if we continue down the path of this kind of this psychotic individualism. The individual is very important, but just as important to human beings is our relational capacity. And I think that it’s slowly turning around; I think that we’re beginning to see, in the last election we saw the real rejection of what Romney basically had to offer this same old trickle-down nonsense, and people said ‘I don’t believe it anymore’.

'Psychotic individualism'. You mean the kind of ‘psychotic individualism’ that gave birth to the light bulb, the telephone, the television, mass-produced affordable cars, google, amazon, cell phones... Does this progressive pinhead even realize what kind of ‘psychotic individualism’ he exercised in making this movie, and how the TRICKLE-DOWN profits from it will make him a very wealthy man? What did government do to make this happen? NOT A DAMN THING. But they aim to brainwash the low-information voter into believing they can't survive without government; all-the-while government is destroying everything they desire as an individual.

Fascism: is a religion of the State, it assumes the organic unity of the body politic and longs for a national leader attuned to the will of the people. it is totalitarian in that it views everything as political and holds that any action by the state is justified to achieve the common good. it takes responsibility for all aspects of life, including our health and well-being, and seeks to impose uniformity of thought and action, wither by force or through regulation and social pressure. Everything, including economy and religion, must be aligned with its objectives. any rival identity is part of the "problem" and therefore defined as the enemy.

Except when it applies to them. Did government come in and demand that Kushner make this movie as a collective effort from society, with government input? Everything that has made this country great, this progressive misfit will directly benefit from. The very thing he speaks against – individualism – is the exact thing he exercised in making this movie. And the very thing he condemned – trickle-down economics – is the very thing he will get rich off of. Do you think he is going to take his cash earnings and give it to the government to distribute to those in need? The hypocrisy is so blatant, yet Americans keep their heads in the sand.

Fascism is nothing more than Communism with a corporate flavor.
Large corporations are allowed to flourish and influence politics, social causes and/or wars with most profits going to the few select elite. It is also easier to launder drug money through corporate accounts and limit liability of it's corporate officers. Ever see a corporation go to jail?

The state decides on your healthcare, what guns you own (if any), who gets the drone...

I don't know anything about Tony Kushner but the quote strikes me as somebody trying to be witty, deep, and profound and instead just producing a big statement that doesn't have a lot of substance to it. Its far from clear what he even means.
