Should capitalism-consciousness promote more ethics-folklore?
This New Year's patriotic tale was inspired by Strange Days, and since it's capitalism-rhetoric, I didn't feel comfy posting it in the Writing section (but I hope you like it!).
Cheers (signing off),

Two humanoid aliens from Venus landed on Earth, in America ('TrumpUSA') and flew around D.C. cloaked in invisibility. These two aliens, Ermac (a hooded male sorcerer-warrior) and Kitana (a masked blade-wielding female warrior) observed the architectural splendor of the Pentagon and wondered if American patriotism was oriented towards great monuments to socialization and bureaucracy. They assessed how consumerism-culture reflected America's love of capitalism-rhetoric and why Hollywood (USA) made films like The Founder and Casino.
Ermac had glowing forearms/hands and glowing green eyes. He had great confidence in metaphysics and in the grandeur of war and imagination. Kitana was a fierce and attractive woman-warrior whose flying blade-fans could gash into her enemies' flesh or even decapitate them. Ermac believed in the glory of intellectual liberty, while Kitana espoused principles of authority and courage. They both believed in the 'ideal' of sociological analysis as a wise prologue to any worthwhile contact between intelligent species. That's why these two humanoid war-angels from Venus wanted to examine TrumpUSA and why it represented universal socialization concerns (before making contact with the White House officially/diplomatically).
Ermac and Kitana decided to examine the lucrative but war-torn and deadly illegal diamond trade in South Africa and why Hollywood (USA) made a film about the controversial enterprise called Blood Diamond (starring movie-stars Leo DiCaprio and Jennifer Connelly). Ermac/Kitana thought the diamond trade in South Africa paralleled America's narcotics-operations in major cities as well as general capitalism-avarice exhibited in corporate corruption. The diamond trade was a symbol of man's greed, and TrumpUSA was a tower of human capitalism-spirit. Ermac/Kitana believed it'd be prudent to examine how this 'quest for diamonds' in South Africa paralleled America's ambitions with petroleum and its exchanges with Middle Eastern oil companies (i.e., OPEC). Diamonds are forever, and Ermac/Kitana wondered if a 'war for diamonds' was a metaphysical signpost of the 'chaos' of capitalism itself (at least on Earth!).
Ermac and Kitana then noted that Americans were fascinated by sci-fi horror-films such as Alien: Covenant and Species, which spoke to man's interest in evolution-frailties and socialization vulnerabilities (e.g., McCarthyism). Ermac/Kitana wondered if the 'war for diamonds' created pockets of spiritual rebelliousness against capitalism-governance structures/institutions such as Wall Street and the World Bank. On New Year's Eve, Ermac/Kitana decided to dump bushels of diamonds (from their stolen jet) onto Times Square and take photos of Americans scurrying to grab the treasures amidst all the social festivity on this special occasion. President Trump tweeted, "I believe we're being invaded by a new kind of 'terrorist intelligence'."
ERMAC: Is there any doubt that capitalism is rather fragile?
KITANA: No; and it also seems that inciting urban riots is easy!
ERMAC: Apparently the 1992 Los Angeles Race Riots were symbolic...
KITANA: As was 9/11; both incidents symbolized socialization vulnerabilities.
ERMAC: If you were Ray Kroc (founder of McDonald's), would you trumpet 9/11?
KITANA: I'd certainly be concerned that anti-capitalism feelings generated terrorism!
ERMAC: Maybe capitalism is a 'passion-potion' for social eccentricity.
KITANA: Well, Americans love capitalism-themed TV game-shows.
ERMAC: Yes, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and Wheel of Fortune are both 'iconic.'
KITANA: Maybe we should generate some incendiary political-cartoons about capitalism!
ERMAC: Yes, Marvel Comics offers a nice 'capitalism-tycoon' avatar --- Kingpin.
KITANA: Yes, Kingpin is a fatty and capitalism bad-guy who typifies avarice/corruption.
ERMAC: We could write, "Kingpin travels to Bolivia with President Trump to create 'rings'."
KITANA: Americans are not opposed to political-cartoons and movies about journalism.
ERMAC: True; All the President's Men, Broadcast News, and The Post are all fine trophies.
KITANA: Perhaps we should show humans why capitalism evildoers signify terrorism!
ERMAC: I think Americans should learn themselves what it means to be 'patriots.'
