The Truth Behind America's Election Choices: Corporate-Owned, Manipulated, and Meaningless?

Hello, Earnest Mann here! We're just days away from November 5th and facing a choice that feels disappointingly like a corporate-controlled Coke or Pepsi selection. From Trump's capitalist-driven rhetoric to Harris' incoherent word salads, it's clear that what we see is a heavily manipulated political landscape. While I find humor in Joe Rogan's calculated moves for viewership, I can’t overlook the sad reality that our political system is designed to keep the status quo firmly in place.

The Reality of Voting in America: Why Real Change is Out of Reach

The idea that your vote matters feels increasingly like a bread and circus spectacle meant to distract from the plutocratic and oligarchic grip over our system. I argue that every four years, we’re fed the illusion of choice, but behind the scenes, nothing really changes. What we need is a radical shift in perspective on how we view this so-called democracy, which is better defined as a plutocracy. The only true improvement, I contend, won’t come from capitalism, socialism, or communism but rather from a different structure altogether.

The Solution? Breaking Free from the Status Quo

The cycle of frustration and voter apathy is no accident. It’s all part of a well-oiled social manipulation machine. Until we realize we’re merely paddling in a rowboat with one oar, we'll continue going in circles. As I see it, the only system that’s truly worked well is absolute monarchy—but that’s a topic for another time. Tune in every Monday and Friday for insights like these, and remember, don’t get caught in the status quo!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm a deep thinking contrarian, a very pragmatic idiocythrope. I believe that function determines desirability and legitimacy. I don't like the superficial and/or pretentious, nor the shallow. I speak the truth as best as I know it, as a professor of tautology.

With friends, I desire quality over quantity. I know some very important life truths I'm just waiting for you to ask about. I have found in life, many people talk about happiness, but are unwilling to pay the price, or believe they shouldn't have to, because they are entitled to it, but I know with absolute certainty, that such beliefs are always due to stupidity, Insanity, or some degree of both.

This is not just another YouTube channel; I'm seeking to build a community of Intelligent thinkers daring to discuss, - and say - what the hell really needs to be said, so do the right thing, leave your thoughts, for me and others to possibly learn from, and subscribe, and tell everyone else in the world you know about me, and you'll stand a really good chance, of me remembering you, in my will!

I believe we really can change the current status quo of an idiotic and fucked up purposeless treadmill existence, and actually improve this world, but it requires intelligence, honesty, and BALLS, all three of which are currently in short supply, especially the balls.

Thank you for taking the time, to read this, and remember to avoid anything or anyone stupid, as much as possible, your life will be far better for it.

Please consider, that by visiting my website and/or donating to this show, you're supporting an actual person, not some mega corporation, that wouldn't know human compassion if it hit them over the head!

I look forward to hearing from you, and until next Monday or Friday remember, the world may be misinformed and batshit crazy, but YOU, don’t have to be!

hello and thank you for being here it's

0:10

hard to believe time passes so quickly

0:13

but in only 5 days from now November 5th

0:17

we get a new president and I have to

0:20

admit with complete honesty that I don't

0:23

believe I remember feeling this

0:26

completely underwhelmed at what were

0:29

being offered by the corporate owned

0:31

American Coke or Pepsi Choice political

0:35

machine in many

0:38

years before I deep dive into this

0:41

presidential election thing there is one

0:44

person that I would like to give

0:46

outstanding humanitarian credit to Joe

0:50

Rogan you see Joe is a very busy guy and

0:55

the fact that he took the time out from

0:57

his very busy schedule of doing vocal

1:01

product ads for companies selling

1:04

absolute ripoff junk even though

1:08

he's currently worth well over $500

1:11

million he found time to interview

1:14

Donald Trump which I'm certain he did

1:17

without any consideration of how much it

1:21

would increase his

1:22

viewership yep Joe Rogan simply won hell

1:27

of a human being folks

1:30

so much has changed socially and I would

1:34

say mainly for the worst in the last 30

1:36

or 40 years that if somehow magically we

1:40

could bring people back to life from

1:43

that time they would be absolutely

1:46

dumbstruck even if they were just

1:48

looking at the politics that bringing

1:51

them back to life might actually be

1:54

considered extremely cruel because I

1:56

believe that many of those people who

1:59

who would see a reality so

2:02

incomprehensible from what they remember

2:05

that they would probably simply turn

2:08

around and kill

2:10

themselves let's take the Clinton error

2:12

for

2:13

example if a person back then had just a

2:17

modum of perception they were totally

2:20

aware that slick Willie would try to

2:22

screw anything attractive that moved so

2:26

what he did with Monica Lewinsky really

2:29

didn't bother me because at that time so

2:32

would I and apparently since he got

2:35

elected twice that didn't really seem to

2:38

matter a hell of a lot of to other

2:41

people either unfortunately yours truly

2:45

was not held to that same standard of

2:49

forgiveness what I want you to know the

2:52

message that I'm trying to convey to you

2:55

is that in the case of either candidate

2:59

there is no real

3:01

difference now I fully realize that

3:04

you're probably thinking I'm full of

3:06

and I don't know what the hell I'm

3:09

talking about and all I can politely say

3:12

to you is just please hear me

3:15

out but on the other hand you should

3:18

know by now that that's really not my

3:21

style I would actually be being

3:25

disingenuous to you so what I'm really

3:28

saying is sit down and shut the up

3:32

because you don't actually know what the

3:35

hell you think you

3:38

know now honestly think about it isn't

3:42

it nice to hear someone actually say

3:45

what the hell they mean and mean what

3:47

the hell they say for a change my name

3:51

is an Earnest man for

3:53

nothing okay so getting back to this

3:56

election what the hell do you think

3:59

you're actually going to get out of this

4:02

yes they both speak with varying degrees

4:05

of articulation on topical issues that

4:08

in reality neither one of them is

4:10

actually going to do a damn thing about

4:14

Trump talks endlessly about stopping The

4:17

Invasion from our friends from the south

4:21

although I doubt he seriously is going

4:24

to be able to really do anything about

4:26

it even if he really wanted to because

4:30

that would interfere with corporate

4:33

interest which is the actual reason why

4:37

America has been invaded with countless

4:39

millions of our friends is because it's

4:43

actually very

4:45

profitable but regardless of that Trump

4:48

is an absolute capitalist a businessman

4:51

who would make a deal to sell the Statue

4:54

of Liberty if he could personally gain

4:58

multi-millions or billions of dollars

5:01

from selling

5:03

it as far as Harris is concerned don't

5:07

start me cackling I I mean uh laughing

5:11

she's the exact opposite of trump in the

5:13

articulation Department I've listened to

5:16

her speak a great deal and she seldom if

5:19

ever clearly and articulately expresses

5:23

any ideas on just about anything mainly

5:27

just a bunch of jumbled word salad jish

5:31

with a good dose of cackling laughter as

5:35

always it became obvious to me several

5:38

years ago that if it wasn't for the

5:41

corporate machine that woman would be in

5:44

a straight jacket in a rubber room with

5:47

enough Thorazine to stop the

5:50

cackling I seriously doubt that if she

5:54

wasn't nudged or prompted by her

5:57

assistance she wouldn't stop the idiotic

6:01

and inappropriate cackling I'm serious

6:04

and if you think anything I just said

6:06

about either candidate was funny well by

6:09

all means

6:11

laugh that doesn't bother me at

6:14

all because if you're one of my

6:17

listeners or if you have listened to

6:19

this so far I'm pretty certain that

6:22

you're not a narcissist or a babbling

6:25

idiot which makes me feel good and I

6:29

also know with absolute certainty that

6:33

you don't have the nuclear missile codes

6:36

to launch the nukes that would more than

6:39

likely bring about Armageddon which

6:42

makes me feel really good but

6:45

unfortunately even though you really

6:48

make me feel good those other two Boos

6:52

not so

6:53

much in the final analysis with all my

6:57

observational skills as well as many

7:00

years on this planet all I can simply

7:03

tell you is this the only change that is

7:06

going to occur assuming there is any

7:10

change at all is that things are going

7:13

to continue spiraling down the drain

7:16

economically and

7:18

socially for the vast majority of

7:22

Americans because we don't live in a

7:25

democracy we live in a

7:27

plutocracy and the plutocrats and the

7:29

oligarchs want to continue getting what

7:33

they have been getting for at least the

7:35

last 70 years more for themselves by

7:39

taking every thing away from

7:42

everybody

7:44

else I have stated that fact dozens of

7:48

times in several other episodes and the

7:52

sooner America understands this then and

7:56

only then will there be any possibility

8:00

of any real actual and significant

8:03

Improvement economically and socially in

8:06

our lives and every 4-year ritual is

8:10

just that another bread and circus

8:13

ritual that in reality doesn't mean a

8:16

damn thing and ultimately other than on

8:20

a very local level voting doesn't mean a

8:24

damn thing

8:26

either I want to end this here by simp

8:29

simply saying this I'm not saying you

8:32

should be in any way

8:34

apathetic what I'm saying is that all

8:38

the well-meaning idealistic energy in

8:40

the world will not change this situation

8:44

with this corrupt political

8:47

machine the truth of the matter is this

8:50

whole election process is an incredibly

8:54

successful social

8:56

manipulation what we essentially have

8:59

right now is an entire Society being in

9:02

a rowboat and paddling fiercely then

9:06

angry and frustrated when it becomes

9:09

self-evident that their lives are not

9:12

really improving proportional to their

9:16

effort like it has for the last 70

9:20

years that the rowboat is only going in

9:23

circles that is because there is only

9:26

one ore in the water the status quo

9:32

exactly what business interest

9:35

wants so what is the answer socialism

9:39

short answer no

9:42

communism absolutely not more laare

9:48

capitalism are you

9:50

serious there's only one system that has

9:53

historically proven to work very well

9:57

absolute monarchy

10:00

but that's a discussion for another

10:03

time so don't you be like a boat

10:08

going around in circles check out my

10:10

show every Monday and Friday at 6:00

10:12

a.m. for fantastic insights just like

10:16

this so until next time folks this is
