The British Empire wasn’t exactly a picture of global democracy, like ours falsely claims to be, nor one of equality.  It did benefit its inhabitants with a long peace, brutally established, but while it flew the banner of great sacrifice carrying The White Man’s Burden it was in the end about enriching a few elites.  The American Empire can claim no more, and certainly it should expect to be viewed as far less.  While the Brits occupied a country to strip it of its assets, they did establish schools and roads and administration of justice and a few other benefits.  When America set its sites on a juicy commodity, the piece of real estate in question was never occupied.  Oh, heavens to Betsy no, we are not an empire so we can’t have any occupying forces on hand.  No, we just put our hand picked boy in power and let him terrorize the place in exchange for a free flowing resource back to our ports for half pennies on the dollar.  We had tried occupying forces, in the South after the Civil War and in the Philippines after our war with Spain, and that must have left a very sour taste in the mouths of our elites, to whom any cost better avoided was eagerly embraced.  I’m not saying our masters are some cheap pricks, just that they have got to be some of the tightest fisted bastards of all time or place.   What an imperial epithet.  Cheap Whores.

Americans have never had any class, a state of affairs viewed with horror by our elites who try desperately to over compensate for that by emulating the royals elsewhere, but eagerly embraced and celebrated by its working classes.  We came from the gutters and shacks from Europe and we spare no opportunity to snub our noses and flip the bird at high class arseholes everywhere.  Look at me, your humping lordship, I’ve got a pocketful of dollars and a holster full of pistol and I’d sooner cap your fat ass than look at you, you rich twat ( gun control will never seriously be successful, thank goodness.  I think our physiological attachment to them stems from our belief we shant be economically unequal again.  Far from true, but the illusion of control is what is embraced )!  But a terrible thing has happened on our way to riches for the lower classes and that is we have traded our origins for money not caring terribly that our fellow poor in other places are suffering in our stead.  We were exploited and fought our way back wrestling some powers from the corporations, only to have them board up the factories and leave us in the unemployment line.  So we let our masters rape the rest of the world so we could keep just a taste of what we had lost.  And ignored that reality by surrounding ourselves in a sealed bubble of bread and circus’.  Now THAT is showing about no friggin class.  Too bad we had learned to revel in that state, as we actually take pride in our ignorance and deceit.  We as a people are Cheap Whores, indeed.
