Both Britain and the USA are in a very dangerous place

There can no longer be any doubt that both Britain and the United States are cursed with the most incompetent political class in history. Both nations are rudderless and heading for the rocks as a result of a governing class who are devoid of honour, dignity or self-respect. Most importantly they are both politically and economically stupid. But the character of government in both nations goes beyond incompetence and stupidity and harbours both dangerous and sinister ramifications. The character of our governments is manifest in persistent and pathological lying, the scapegoating of individuals and minorities, a complete disregard for norms and values, for honesty and common decency. I could go on but simply want to impress that the character of the governing and ruling classes of both nations is sociopathic and, indeed, frequently manifests itself as psychotic.

This has not come about by accident. It is the result of the adoption of, and obsession with, a sociopathic ideology, an ideology of destruction, greed and selfishness that breeds a pathology that neuters normal humanity in those who adopt and embrace it. The British and American obsession with free market neoliberalism, particularly that version of it promoted by Ayn Rand and her Objectivist philosophy, is both anti-social and inhuman. It is inhuman because it denies all the basic qualities that define the human being, and openly denies the fundamental characteristic of Christianity, love thy neighbour. I have no truck with religion, and Christianity does not have an exclusive ownership of the concept of love thy neighbour, but it just expresses it so well. It is the concept that underpins all philosophies that stress the natural social nature of the human being, the necessity to recognise that all human behaviour is both interactive and interdependent. I know I go on about it, but people must really come to an understanding of just how damaging and destructive are the deeply sinister implications of Thatcher's insistence that there is no such thing as society before they can begin to fully understand the nature of modern government and society. This is sociopathy in action, sociopathy masquerading as public policy because if there is no such thing as society, then we can happily dispense with the concept of loving our neighbours, or indeed even recognising them, and that was Thatcher's purpose in pronouncing it. If there is no society then you have no responsibilities to anyone else, not even your own family as Ayn Rand explicitly told us. It is a dystopian philosophy of pure and total selfishness and its consequences must surely be obvious to anyone who contemplates British and American public policy and attitudes today. It has not yet achieved total control of public consciousness, but it has achieved a dominant control.   

British government is in meltdown and its daily displays of incompetence would be a spectacle to behold were they not so serious. We have a political class who neither comprehend, nor care about, the fundamentals of democracy and the rule of law. They are so blinded by entitlement and class privilege they genuinely think they can do as they like without consequences. What other sane and rational political system would elevate people like Priti Patel and The Spider? They are reminiscent of medieval aristocrats for whom the rest of the world is simply there for their pleasure and they should be able to do and say what they want without challenge. Likewise the American political class are so obsessed with their own individual self-interest they are watching their nation being systematically undermined by a psychopath and his court of gangster buddies and refusing to challenge him. You see, the economic system has rewarded them and keeps them at the top courtesy of their wealth and connections, and nothing, neither the welfare of the people or the greater interests of society will be allowed to challenge that. Therefore, as they have their wealth safely tucked away out of reach, where they can access it if they need to flee from the imminent collapse of the society they have caused to collapse, they are completely indifferent to everyone else, and that is how it should be according to the philosophy that they live by. 

Make no mistake, this is generally how these people think. If you do not believe me consult 'On All Of Our Shoulders' published by the American Catholic Church in response to Paul Ryan's bid for the Vice-Presidency for a very rational analysis of neoliberalism. Better still read Ayn Rand for yourselves and experience philosophical insanity. These people will destroy the world if they continue to get their own way. You have been warned.
