Shitty ’60s Toy Story

 
Black Knight my ass!—that’s Batman, you Jap bastards! 

As a ’60s nine-year-old you shunned such cheap toys from Japan flooding the market just mere years since dad nearly got his head shot off by those bastards in the Asian jungles.

But America rehabilitated its enemies after WWII with the European Marshall Plan and its Asian equivalent, GARIOA (yah, had to look that up).

Those old school Eisenhower Republican values I came to take pride in. And, yeah—those toys eventually became cars which eventually sapped Detroit’s market share so instead of actually killing each other in actual jungles, the ’80s became brand marketing wars. And the defeated Fascist Japanese rehabilitated their ancient work ethic to pretty much eat our lunch for awhile because our work ethic went flabby. 

But nobody died, and prosperity returned to Japan while America continued its run getting holy shit so flabby!—I mean, have you been to a Walmarts??

Fatheaded morons call capitalism a political system when it’s a fiscal system that if politically unchecked will obligingly become fascism. Fascism merely needs nurtured grievances. Which is the state of today’s pathetic GOP.

The “can do” spirit of enterprising capitalism has an ugly secret— the notion that ultimately there’s enough to go around and yesterday’s foes can become allies if treated like human beings—something along the lines of playing well with other children.
