I'M A MORAL BLIND OPPORTUNIST, AND I VOTE
HANNIBAL CHAU FOR PRESIDENT 2016
HE'LL GET US WHAT WE NEED
HANNIBAL CHAU FOR PRESIDENT 2016
HE'LL GET US WHAT WE NEED
The Hannibal Chau character in Pacific Rim (official site) -played by award winning actor and likable-one-of-a-kind-ugly-face Ron Perlman- is a brilliant mutation of the long arc of Shanghai/Hong Kong archetypical solo operator businessmen who have no limit to lying, stealing or murdering in the pursuit of commerce and trade.
History of Shanghai
People love these pathological freebooters [freebooter def: noun. a person who pillages and plunders, especially a pirate.], Disney has even made a series of movies with lovable pillagers and plunderers for kids. Why not appease the populist
impulse and have a freebooter as President of United States?
Imagine Ron Perlman in Hannibal Chau modus operandi guiding this great nation of hilariously incompatible 50 states into the middle of the first half of the 21st Century. Imagine the deals done behind closed doors, imagine the selling of flood prone land to foreign investors, imagine Machiavelli being a mandatory assignment before entering 7th grade, imagine a society in which social mobility between the stations of prostitute and preacher became fluid and full duplex. Imagine.
I wonder if you can.
US foreign policy could become reset to nation ignoring rather than nation building. Our citizens should be traveling all over the world as tourists, business-people and students; but our government should not be.
Of course there will be times when the US will need to interact with the world. What doesn't seem to work is the schizophrenic combination of drone bombing and orphanage/school construction the US does in lands where terrorists are grown. We send signals that are confusing, or worse, we send signals that we are self-defeating and delusional. We should send signals that make our enemies nervous, full of a sense of dread.
The job of making people nervous is best left to a nefarious character such as Hannibal Chau. Our country has given principled men and women a chance to guide the affairs of State to our detriment as America's attempts at good have been chewed up in the meat-grinder of multi-cultural interpretation and spat out as bad. It's time we made an earnest attempt at being bad.
