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
hard to believe time passes so quickly
but in only 5 days from now November 5th
we get a new president and I have to
admit with complete honesty that I don't
believe I remember feeling this
completely underwhelmed at what were
being offered by the corporate owned
American Coke or Pepsi Choice political
machine in many
years before I deep dive into this
presidential election thing there is one
person that I would like to give
outstanding humanitarian credit to Joe
Rogan you see Joe is a very busy guy and
the fact that he took the time out from
his very busy schedule of doing vocal
product ads for companies selling
absolute ripoff junk even though
he's currently worth well over $500
million he found time to interview
Donald Trump which I'm certain he did
without any consideration of how much it
would increase his
viewership yep Joe Rogan simply won hell
of a human being folks
so much has changed socially and I would
say mainly for the worst in the last 30
or 40 years that if somehow magically we
could bring people back to life from
that time they would be absolutely
dumbstruck even if they were just
looking at the politics that bringing
them back to life might actually be
considered extremely cruel because I
believe that many of those people who
who would see a reality so
incomprehensible from what they remember
that they would probably simply turn
around and kill
themselves let's take the Clinton error
for
example if a person back then had just a
modum of perception they were totally
aware that slick Willie would try to
screw anything attractive that moved so
what he did with Monica Lewinsky really
didn't bother me because at that time so
would I and apparently since he got
elected twice that didn't really seem to
matter a hell of a lot of to other
people either unfortunately yours truly
was not held to that same standard of
forgiveness what I want you to know the
message that I'm trying to convey to you
is that in the case of either candidate
there is no real
difference now I fully realize that
you're probably thinking I'm full of
and I don't know what the hell I'm
talking about and all I can politely say
to you is just please hear me
out but on the other hand you should
know by now that that's really not my
style I would actually be being
disingenuous to you so what I'm really
saying is sit down and shut the up
because you don't actually know what the
hell you think you
know now honestly think about it isn't
it nice to hear someone actually say
what the hell they mean and mean what
the hell they say for a change my name
is an Earnest man for
nothing okay so getting back to this
election what the hell do you think
you're actually going to get out of this
yes they both speak with varying degrees
of articulation on topical issues that
in reality neither one of them is
actually going to do a damn thing about
Trump talks endlessly about stopping The
Invasion from our friends from the south
although I doubt he seriously is going
to be able to really do anything about
it even if he really wanted to because
that would interfere with corporate
interest which is the actual reason why
America has been invaded with countless
millions of our friends is because it's
actually very
profitable but regardless of that Trump
is an absolute capitalist a businessman
who would make a deal to sell the Statue
of Liberty if he could personally gain
multi-millions or billions of dollars
from selling
it as far as Harris is concerned don't
start me cackling I I mean uh laughing
she's the exact opposite of trump in the
articulation Department I've listened to
her speak a great deal and she seldom if
ever clearly and articulately expresses
any ideas on just about anything mainly
just a bunch of jumbled word salad jish
with a good dose of cackling laughter as
always it became obvious to me several
years ago that if it wasn't for the
corporate machine that woman would be in
a straight jacket in a rubber room with
enough Thorazine to stop the
cackling I seriously doubt that if she
wasn't nudged or prompted by her
assistance she wouldn't stop the idiotic
and inappropriate cackling I'm serious
and if you think anything I just said
about either candidate was funny well by
all means
laugh that doesn't bother me at
all because if you're one of my
listeners or if you have listened to
this so far I'm pretty certain that
you're not a narcissist or a babbling
idiot which makes me feel good and I
also know with absolute certainty that
you don't have the nuclear missile codes
to launch the nukes that would more than
likely bring about Armageddon which
makes me feel really good but
unfortunately even though you really
make me feel good those other two Boos
not so
much in the final analysis with all my
observational skills as well as many
years on this planet all I can simply
tell you is this the only change that is
going to occur assuming there is any
change at all is that things are going
to continue spiraling down the drain
economically and
socially for the vast majority of
Americans because we don't live in a
democracy we live in a
plutocracy and the plutocrats and the
oligarchs want to continue getting what
they have been getting for at least the
last 70 years more for themselves by
taking every thing away from
everybody
else I have stated that fact dozens of
times in several other episodes and the
sooner America understands this then and
only then will there be any possibility
of any real actual and significant
Improvement economically and socially in
our lives and every 4-year ritual is
just that another bread and circus
ritual that in reality doesn't mean a
damn thing and ultimately other than on
a very local level voting doesn't mean a
damn thing
either I want to end this here by simp
simply saying this I'm not saying you
should be in any way
apathetic what I'm saying is that all
the well-meaning idealistic energy in
the world will not change this situation
with this corrupt political
machine the truth of the matter is this
whole election process is an incredibly
successful social
manipulation what we essentially have
right now is an entire Society being in
a rowboat and paddling fiercely then
angry and frustrated when it becomes
self-evident that their lives are not
really improving proportional to their
effort like it has for the last 70
years that the rowboat is only going in
circles that is because there is only
one ore in the water the status quo
exactly what business interest
wants so what is the answer socialism
short answer no
communism absolutely not more laare
capitalism are you
serious there's only one system that has
historically proven to work very well
absolute monarchy
10:00

time so don't you be like a boat
going around in circles check out my

this so until next time folks this is
