Does TrumpUSA remind you of EuroDisney?
What would Thomas Nast say?
====
"I'm a witness of the burgeoning of TrumpUSA. I consider myself a messenger and a vigilante, which is why I call myself Scarecrow. I'm an anarchist by mysticism and a democrat by political education and idealism. I wonder about the crime-worlds created in TrumpUSA, as a backlash to the traffic of commerce and consumerism characteristic of the 21st Century. Why does America cater to organized crime? Is capitalism fertile for piracy, and what does TrumpUSA teach us about the value of civics-imagination?"
"After 9/11, Americans became much more self-conscious about the global sentiments aligned 'against' the burgeoning of capitalism (e.g., TrumpUSA). Why do we entertain political cartoons about the weight of globalized commerce? Should we celebrate the peace-alliance between the Koreas during the PyeongChang Olympics? If TrumpUSA is to become a tower of commerce-driven peace around the world, we have to understand how 9/11 awakened us to the reality of anti-capitalism furies. Should I be a patriotic average civilian voter...or the Scarecrow?"
"Of course, American cities have developed greatly since 9/11 because of consumerism flowery. We haven't seen this sort of consumerism-burgeoning since the 1920s and the 1980s, to 'technically' we should be very elated. However, various American cities still require constant vigilance so that commerce can be a grounds for more kinds of peaceful transit/traffic. Should Americans read about the World Bank while reading news-stories about organized crime in American cities? What would President Trump say?"
"I went to an Ivy League school before becoming a Christian minister. I later decided to don a vigilante-identity and became the 'Scarecrow.' As the Scarecrow, I try to deliver messages about the intrigue of commercial traffic in TrumpUSA, while posting on the Internet about creative ideas regarding the branches of capitalism in the 21st Century. However, I invite my readers to consider the value of anarchism-sentimentality and question why we Americans seem to adore civics-paranoia films like Fight Club, Dark City, The Dark Knight, and The Last Tycoon. Am I insane? Is TrumpUSA worth all this...apologetics?"
"Adam Smith suggested in his seminal capitalism-evaluation work The Wealth of Nations that organized wealth brings out the human fascination with the 'working gears' of asset-motion and asset-control. We start to think about why capitalism incites in us feelings of great imagination, even defiance. This is what separates capitalism from socialism. We begin to think about how the labyrinths of commerce create feelings of liberty and prosperity rather than governmental control and institutionalism. However, we also think of the value of political critique and if TrumpUSA inspires in us forms of anarchism-mysticism. Does it?"
"I drive a white Lamborghini. You see, I'm actually an Algerian-American prince, and I use my assets to fund my Christian studies/sabbatical and to work as an 'American investor.' I believe in capitalism, and I think TrumpUSA is hospitable to forms of commercial imagination. That's why as a democrat (by political belief) and anarchist (by mysticism-analysis), I find it intriguing to analyze consumerism-tokens such as Energizer batteries, comic books, Hungry Man frozen TV-dinners, and Levi's denim. I think about the sociological consumerism value of water-guns and energy-efficient light-bulbs. After all, isn't capitalism all about political correction?"
TRUMP: I worry about this Internet-blogging 'Scarecrow.'
CARTER: He's a real political idealist and self-proclaimed 'vigilante.'
TRUMP: He reminds me of a young Stan Lee, Carter!
CARTER: Yes, he's shrewd about media and 'pedestrian journalism.'
TRUMP: Should we invite him to the White House?
CARTER: Apparently, he's a terrific pizza-maker, Mr. President!
TRUMP: Then it's settled; we'll invite him to make us pizza.
CARTER: I wonder how many Scarecrows there are out there...
TRUMP: Hopefully more than there are anti-capitalist terrorists.
CARTER: Do you worry about Scarecrow's 'anarchist' sentiments?
TRUMP: Nah; he's just a cheerful new age Thomas Nast (punk-rock version).
CARTER: True; maybe commerce/media can promote forms of 'cartoonistry.'
TRUMP: God bless the Internet.
