david simon - we pretend to a war against narcotics but in truth we are simply brutalizing and dehumanizing an urban underclass that we no longer need as a labor supply
the wire was not a story about america
it's about the america that got left behindthe drug war is a war on the underclassnow that's all it isit has no other meaning

I wrote something similar the other day that there was never a war on drugs. The U.S. government buys drugs and is the biggest supplier. They lied to us and they lied to themselves. We are seeing the America we grew up in on her last leg, her decay, and demise. I do not have much hope anymore in America. She is no beacon on the hill anymore. Really sad.

ReplyDeleteIt's the Deep State mentality takeover...Zizek says in the video something to the effect that Government bureaucrats get paid to "manage" problems, NOT "solve" them.
@43:26- but i claim nonetheless that wire is anti-capitalist series up to a point the wire you know why because this liberal guys who want to appropriate the wire don't get something of which david simon is aware that it is true bureaucracy works like that it its main goal is to reproduce itself not to so and then you have all this wonderful you have all these wonderful problems even i was told in today's Russia by my friends who some of them were even i'm no longer their friend propoutin they admitted to me how difficult this is for example one of them was robbed no on the street and went to the police and then they told him sorry we cannot start the procedure why because they told me because we had the plan and according to our plan in this year the number of robberies violent robberies should diminish for five percent if we take your case it would ruin our statistics and so on this is one side the other side the stalinist one which is also alive is that on the other hand they also get a quota how many crimes they should solve so then sometimes they had to invent crimes to hire the statistic of i mean we know all this but in some nice passage david say simon msays something intelligent he says but but doesn't capitalism in general work precisely the market capitalism in exactly the same way it appears that it is selling you products to satisfy you but no it is selling you products which guarantee that you will again need the products and so on and so on you know it's exactly in the same way as bureaucracy products are not made to satisfy you your satisfaction is manipulated so that more products will be reproduced and so on and so on
The sad thing is that the voters keep expanding Government's charter with more "problems" to manage/solve.
