"So... I see you received the free ticket I sent you. I'm glad. I did so want you to be here. You see it doesn't matter if you catch me and send me back to the asylum... Gordon's been driven mad. I've proved my point. I've demonstrated there's no difference between me and everyone else! All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day. You had a bad day once, am I right? I know I am. I can tell. You had a bad day and everything changed. Why else would you dress up as a flying rat? You had a bad day, and it drove you as crazy as everybody else... Only you won't admit it! You have to keep pretending that life makes sense, that there's some point to all this struggling! God you make me want to puke. I mean, what is it with you? What made you what you are? Girlfriend killed by the mob, maybe? Brother carved up by some mugger? Something like that, I bet. Something like that... Something like that happened to me, you know. I... I'm not exactly sure what it was. Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another... If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice! Ha ha ha! But my point is... My point is, I went crazy. When I saw what a black, awful joke the world was, I went crazy as a coot! I admit it! Why can't you? I mean, you're not unintelligent! You must see the reality of the situation. Do you know how many times we've come close to World War Three over a flock of geese on a computer screen? Do you know what triggered the last world war? An argument over how many telegraph poles Germany owed its war debt creditors! Telegraph poles! Ha ha ha ha HA! It's all a joke! Everything anybody ever valued or struggled for... it's all a monstrous, demented gag! So why can't you see the funny side? Why aren't you laughing?"

~ The Joker; Batman: The Killing Joke, by Alan Moore (1998)

Prolegomena: Some weeks ago, I touched upon in detail why it is that Western Civilization’s Sundry Narratives are collapsing in Real Time:

Mainly, here is the relevant segment for consideration in today's piece:

---

>>'How is it that Western 'Elite' are becoming increasingly evil, stupid, lazy & arrogant?'

Example after example, time & again, it looks like an entire book could be written just to narrate the various vicissitudes of 'Clown World.'

But what about the 'Why?' Namely, 'Why are they increasingly evil, stupid, lazy & arrogant?'

While it is difficult to figure out the intentions & motives of people, the answer is as simple as 'they don't know any better!'

As nothing more than lesser men & women (a shadow of their forefathers from centuries ago), what keeps them going is mere Inertia.

& so they persist with their grotesque delusions because nothing else remains:

To admit (at this stage 'in the game') that they have 'dropped the ball' is to Ipso Facto admit (via a corollary) that the time of the 'Western world' is over & done with. 

Superstitions, therefore, abound. The Americans keep sanctioning away & keep bombing away, expecting (like the insane, raving lunatics that they are) that somehow, courtesy of a renewed zeal, motive, intent, etc., 'something more positive will occur.'

What precisely that is... nobody can say!

So the 'Elites' go along with the motions without stopping.<<

Clown World's discontents have reached the point where 'superstition' is the best term in the dictionary to describe said incompetents; their habits & actions, for nothing else quite captures the raw spectacle of decline.

What follows is an analysis of the 'What?' behind said obsessions… specifically *What* has made Clown World's 'Elite' & leadership smitten with the Evil, the False & the Ugly.
