The Real Indecency of US Politicians

The Weiner hype/scandal is yet another bewildering case of the pathetic notion that passes in this country for morality, what is offensive to our sensitivities and what needs to be punished as indecent.

The naked body is surely offensive and indecent, that we've known...Unless, of course, you can make millions marketing it as a perversion, then it's ok. The same seems to apply to an individual's "non-profit" sexual projects, like talking, or sharing their own ideas and images related to fucking with other consenting adults, if some capitalist pig somewhere is not making millions selling it to children and the repressed masses, then neither the public display of the naked body nor the open manifestations of human sexuality are decent and must, therefore, be punished...

Yet, fabricated wars for capitalist profit that kill hundreds of thousands of innocent human beings are not deemed indecent (BTW, people who love and feel, and cry and laugh just like us, not some sort of alien dark skinned sub-specie that somehow suffers less than you); neither is deemed indecent the denial of comprehensive support for the unemployed and struggling families while we still manage to give away trillions in corporate welfare; nor are the policies that destroy mother nature to secure those same corporate profits; nor allowing for financial institutions to steal the future of millions of working class families with impunity, or the selling of lies and violence to our own children to make them good little slaves instead of providing them with decent public schools where they could learn to think for themselves; or our collective shameless apathy in the face of all these brutal injustices and crimes...those are the real fucking indecencies, the real naked truths we should be ashamed of...Not Weiner's wiener, for fucks sake!

Yes, severe punishment of the political class is indeed long overdue...and maybe this guy too would need to spend a few years of hard labor at a re-education camp of the people's choice, but for partaking in all of the above REAL and truly egregious crimes against humanity, not for showing his dick on the internet to what thus far appears to be other consenting adults.

Over and out...
