On Social Injustice Part I

The following is the expressed, sovereign thoughts of the author, Dale C. Gillman and the author’s thoughts only. This post shall be one of two posts on the subject matter. From henceforth I shall do what I can to omit any personal opinions (and/or) thoughts on this blog.
                     Acknowledgment
   I would like to thank a very exclusive few people for the ideas in this essay. Thank you to Ken Evans for your wonderful ideas and helping to contribute (not to my work) but to the world. Thank you for your ambition and lastly for your support.
   Technology has allowed for email and social media to play a huge role in the everyday lives of hundreds of millions of people. I want to thank the few, brave individuals who decide to break free from status quos- a group of friends who live in the states from the Facebook group, “Know Box”.
I have to thank others who showed me the light. Few others have revealed that one does not need fame, fortune, recognition, and wealth to be taken seriously, to be respected, or to be scholarly, and to contribute. Some of those individuals include the philosopher Jean Sartre, the mathematician Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman, and another mathematician whom I consider a friend, Sylvian Poirier.

         Vast Misapprehensions of An Ill Perceived Utopia: On Americanism and Capitalism
“When machinery has replaced the man in the workplace, who shall the management criticize, humiliate, condemn, and force to do the menial hard labor?”


   Introduction
The republic of the United States of America successfully perfected the technique of propaganda by the means of Hollywood. Hollywood has portrayed America in a certain light. Look past the sunset, luxurious houses, cars, and country clubs and one shall find emptiness- a black void filled with nothing. The green pastures only stretch as far as the eyes can see. The United States of America is a business and nothing more. Those who work for a living are hindered by money that gets in the way of real progress for mankind.

    The rampant, moronic hypocritical culture in the United States of America is ironic and humorous, at best. A nation that has pride in its most glorious model of “hard” democracy and capitalism lecturers other nations on opportunity yet, in the back rooms murders take place. Others stab their most beloved loved ones, cherished principles and ideologies in the back to fall to the floor and then leave them to bleed. After the dismemberment of truth, morality is regularly botched and real progress is unsalvageable. Those who dwell in areas of logic and reason, of the sane, in which other giants have lived and thrived live in a lonely land. The land is fruitful and lush, it is however desolate and barren to the large majority.     
   In the past, scholars have written volumes on historical institutions and have criticized various schools of thought, formalities, et cetera in order to reform and better restructure societies. If the people of the United States truly cared about pressing issues in the world, actions would speak louder than their hypocritical lectures.
    Businesses treat customers like kings and queens until their customers have no money. In this case the customer becomes another mere peasant.  
If one would truly like to waste his or her life, one must do something that he or she feels time go by slow and feels the painful monotony of the everyday sociological “rat race”. How can a businessman treat his workers like slaves in a hierarchical system and expect his slaves to remain loyal? When a peasant acquires an ability to learn and think, he shall recognise the foolishness of making others who see him as his inferior, richer. Capitalism is one of a very few modern systems in which one can be (and often is) bossed by those who view themselves as masters of trades and jacks. These are, in reality, victims of an inflation of egos. Contemporary masters of the twenty-first century are often inferior to the peasants whom they hold domain over. In many cases, masters are (often) undereducated and think inside of the box in which they were born. One is bound to a job exclusively by the pay which he works for just as one’s sense of self dignity is bound only to his occupation.
   The toxic corrosion of Capitalism allows, and often forces unhealthy social paradigms. To name a few, anxieties are forced into one’s conscious awareness as are other tensions. The United States is a land full of artificial people, built upon artificial hopes. A businessman lacks his or her own thoughts, opinions. He or she conforms and has the viscosity of water, they are unoriginal and they take the shape that their customers want them to. Most Americans are business minded, hence most Americans are mindless, unoriginal individuals with malleable minds. They lack ingenuity and integrity.  
An individual with money can get away with terrible atrocities that a less wealthy man could never get away with.
In the past, Noam Chomsky has made wonderful contributions to the field of philosophy. Today he is among a very minority of other individuals who are serious thinkers in the United States of America. Chomsky has spoken about the ill nature of Capitalism. They shall be further discussed in detail in Part II of this essay.  
I take issue with the classical talking points brought up by Karl Marx. I also think that there are far too many talented and competent individuals who are not wealthy, famous (or) and successful. Many more talented people are struggling and poor than thriving rich.
If businesses cared about profits, machines would have replaced man’s jobs. The talking point of trickle down economics has been debunked by serious people. The façade keeps billion dollar companies from becoming million dollar companies- if the United States government did not give huge corporations corporate welfare then Coca-Cola, Nike, Apple, Walmart, Amazon, ExxonMobil, etc. would not have the immense wealth that they have today.  
Part II shall be a more serious investigation of social injustices.
