"Don't worry citizen, your NYC Mayor, Dr Cocteau wants you to write about happy joy joy things and stop being a malcontent. Enhance your calm, user lightknight, or else you might be in violation of the verbal morality act."
Seriously, how can you be surprised of anything that Evil Mr Rodgers and his "private army" do these days. Bloomberg; setting the tone for and defining Fascism 2.0.
How does it feel New Yorkers to be afraid of your Mayor and his thugs? Does that feel like freedom? Have a large cup of soda pop and set in the shade and think about it. Oh, that's right, you can't. You can't buy a big soda pop there, and the fascist thugs posing as cops will roust you if you aren't the right color in the right place. Don't be loitering citizen, that park bench is not for setting on.
You see, this is how you do Fascism 2.0, all hail Bloomberg! The 1% cutting out the middleman and just running it himself. Hail, Bloomberg! One of his "boys" roughed up a "liberal idiot judge?" That's too bad for the judge isn't it? It will teach him to be out there with the common people, dressed like one of them, who does he think he is? Perhaps he will learn his place and appreciate it. Hail Bloomberg, our savior and pattern for all new Mayors and Presidents.
"For any of you foolish romantics who dream of yesteryear and pine for the day "revolution" dawns on America, keep on dreaming. You are far too emasculated for that kind of nonsense. We left just enough balls on you to procreate so we can have more servants and soldiers, but not enough for you to ever matter, or rise up against us. Collectively, you are all far too stupid and uneducated to know better. Your kind is always so easy to control, it's as if you were bred for it. Now run along and enjoy your diversions we let you have, and if you feel disgruntled, just watch the puppet show that you call "Government." It will lull you back into your sense of security and waste your time as we designed. Some of you will spend your whole lives thinking that this puppet show serves you. Oh how delightful to us!" -Puppet Masters.
