Mitch (the Bitch) McConnell has spent his life taking it up the ass from and for corporations and extreme capitalist forces, pursuing a return to a plantation economy and a life of privilege for the elevated few. He has succeeded. Wealth is inconceivably concentrated again.
Himself, he has received a government check his entire life and married a fantastically wealthy Chinese heiress, realizing the dream of every Republican, money seemingly from nowhere. He might appear assertive to us but he’s actually entirely submissive and degraded.
When Mitch carries on about slavery and reparations it must be understood in this context. The problem is not historical. It is ongoing. McConnell might not look like some burly overseer in the cotton fields but he is one in the new economy of extraction and exploitation.
His authority is derived. His power is delegated. His character degraded. It is systemic and structural. And the slave economy is back.
