Brilliant and very funny and no you’re not an asshole. I Love your rhetorical device of speaking in the third person referring to yourself as Bagholder and using the royal WE. You’re a very good writer.

Are you religious, you didn’t write out the word Jesus but you could have under cover of it being a common first name for Hispanics. I’m an atheist and I can be a bit of an asshole when it comes to mocking religious people or at least their pieties.

As for your political read it comports with my own thinking and with much of what I have read. The American hegemon is up to it’s usual tricks with it’s usual bullshit certainty: The political Gnosticism of imperial liberalism.

Excellent read. Does make you wonder if the story is a comedy or a tragedy. Your post also reminded of an old movie called "The Mouse that Roared". I think I'll have to watch that again soon.
