Every day we hear the phrase 'the most powerful man in the world' applied to the US president, whomever that may be at the time.
We have been hearing this phrase for most of living memory, since the Cold War was in its infancy.
So I will now explain.
It started as a sustained attack upon the values of America, and persevered for so long that the thoughtlessness of the unthinking has spawned a habit of the unthinkable; it being unthinkable that the 'President of the USA' could be any other than 'the most powerful man in the world'.
Having set up this Straw Man, these wicked, scheming cultural step-parents of the media can then indulge in their favourite perversion whenever they like, that is, to drink deeply at the trough of scorn whenever some trouble erupts in the vicinity of America.
They jerk off intellectually at every new problem, every real, human calmity that they can lay at the door of the president or his country. The lick their lips and smack their teeth at the apparitions they conjure, thinking all the while that the targets of their hatred, the innocent honest everywhere, will fall before their malice.
Originally the phrase had a slightly more coherent, though no less evil, purpose: namely to induce an illusion of equivalency between the non-dictators of America, and the actual dictators of the Communist Empire.
There was therefore nothing to be gained from resisting the communists, but, surprise surprise, a sliver of hope could be held out by the obligators of the masses, so why not 'let them in'?
Since communism collapsed irrevocably, they have clung to their mantra in the desperate illusory 'hope' that they may yet induce a world in which they can still confuse and hurt when they should be telling the truth.
Too bad for them we have the internet.
