Extremely scary op-ed from vox.com via MSN:

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/d ... ailsignout

This is what happens when an elite strips people of everything they own, including dignity and pride, leaving only crushing debts and utter hopelessness. When people have nothing to lose but their chains, they latch onto the first demagogue who pops up. When Germany went down the same road 100 years ago, it ended with most Germans dead and the landscape filled with bomb craters and shattered ruins of one teeming cities. Today, we have nukes, so what used to be America might wind up as a permanently uninhabitable radioactive landscape of fused glass and blackened, infertile soil. I keep thinking of the Metallica song Blackened.

Heh. And it didn't take much comment scrolling to see I'm not the only one. :)

I posted lyrics from that Megadeth song in another Trump thread:

You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch people's heads a-roll

At the end, the lyrics veer towards the Book of Revelation:

The world starts to tremble
World powers fall
A-warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall

Sometimes I feel sad that Megadeth dissolved unexpectedly because Dave Mustaine somehow injured his hands and couldn't play the guitar anymore.
