Welcome to K-Dog's Reading Room

Degrowth is a bad term.  Reformed growth is better.  An end to all growth is not good, and deliberate growth of equal prosperity is divine.  Stop the unconstrained growth of profit, and private ownership of the commons.  Private ownership of common resources is fatal in overshoot.  Planetary limits expose contradictions that previously could be ignored.

The Bawdy Truth

A dominatrix holds a cuk by a leash.

In the political world relationships and alliances are complicated.  They are full of power plays.  Individuals dominate​​ international relations in lawless times.  When there is disregard of rules and norms individual personalities with aberrations thrust themselves upon the world stage.  Without rules narcissists and psychopaths cannot be stopped.  Members of the current United States Supreme Court unlike teachers of elementary schools do not know this.

Trump, a very weak man in charge of a powerful country became a powerful figure for it, and Israel is his mistress.  She feeds his ego, and​ he gives her his unwavering loyalty in return.  Now Trump's unwavering obsession with Israel has made him a submissive fool.  And like a cuckolded lover Trump can't get it up if Israel is not in charge, yanking his chain.

Israel is a dominatrix.  She likes holding the leash.  On the end of her leash there is a dog collar and the dog collar has "GAZA." stamped in the gold.  Trump wears the collar around his neck. The idea of building a new Mar-a-Lago East on the ruins of Gaza City keeps the gold collar snapped on tight. Trump can't get the idea of Mar-a-Lago East beauty pageants out of his head.

Images of golden Trump hotels lining the beach fill his dreams.  All semblance of strength and independence are choked off from Trump's head with that collar so tight around his neck.  Trump can't think of the United States back home, and cooking his dinner.  Those thoughts are choked off.  Trump is entirely dependent on satisfying Israel's desires first.  He has no other thought in his head.

Trump the cuck derives pleasure from this humiliating relationship.  His loyalty to Israel remains unshaken.  Trump holds little power in their relationship, it does not matter.  For him, it hurts so good.  Thoughts of what is happening back home in the U.S. vanish in Trump's mind.  The reality of his dependent relationship with Israel means that the United States is essentially at war with the entire globe.  All in the world are ruined by their carnal excitement.  This affair is not healthy.  It hurts other people.

Hurting other people means nothing to Trump.  He has started WWIII because bombs and missiles are not simply explosive now.  Economic shock-waves from their explosion cause much more damage.  Those shock-waves have world-wide reach.  Trump has made the U.S. an enemy of the entire globe.  The whole neighborhood knows Trump won't be home for dinner.  His depraved lunch won't end.  Trump finds this exciting.

Trump continues to debase himself and remain submissive to Israel's every whim.  He does this because in the demented wreck of a brain which still holds his soul, Trump knows he is not worthy.
