The below is a direct excerpt of Mar­ty’s Bent Issue #1120: “They have made plun­der the norm.” Sign up for the newslet­ter here.

If you could­n’t tell, we’re liv­ing through a bit of a soci­etal decay at the moment. And if we’re being bru­tal­ly hon­est with our­selves, we’ve prob­a­bly been liv­ing through a bit of a soci­etal decay for decades, it’s just much more obvi­ous at the moment. There are many vari­ables that led to the cur­rent frayed soci­ety that seems lost and some­what des­per­ate. We can point to the mon­ey print­ing, a media and polit­i­cal class that seem hell bent on sow­ing divi­sion, a com­bi­na­tion of com­pla­cen­cy and apa­thy, and a num­ber of oth­er factors.

How­ev­er, there is a com­mon fac­tor beneath all these fac­tors that has cre­at­ed an envi­ron­ment where soci­etal decay is inevitable. Fur­ther­more, this com­mon fac­tor is some­thing that man has known about for cen­turies and we have been warned to avoid by great thinkers through­out his­to­ry; when those at the top of the economic/power struc­ture don’t live by the same rules as those below them it will lead to an inevitable soci­etal and moral col­lapse as those below the upper rungs of the pow­er struc­ture become privy to the unfair­ness of the system.

In the wake of the 2008 finan­cial cri­sis the fact that we live in a two-tiered soci­ety bro­ken up into a rul­ing class and its cronies who can plun­der with lit­tle to no reper­cus­sions and the rest of us who do not have that abil­i­ty. Or should I say, did not have that abil­i­ty. It seems that we’ve reached a point where some of the “have nots” have had enough of watch­ing the mem­bers of the rul­ing class run amok and are decid­ing to get what they per­ceive to be their fair share. This sen­ti­ment and fol­low up action is becom­ing per­va­sive in cities around the coun­try that have neutered their police depart­ments and decid­ed not to pros­e­cute pet­ty crimes like theft. It has become increas­ing­ly pop­u­lar for flash mobs to run into stores and absolute­ly ran­sack them with­out any fear of repercussions.
