      their secret agenda is to snap all necks

      The Falun Gong carries banners that say “Communism’s Ultimate Goal: To Destroy the Human Race”, so, some people probably actually believe that.

    Human society is a mouse trap. Humans are mice. And we get caught into giant mouse traps.

    Such an applicable example.

      No, but in capitalist vocabulary that phrase means “MAXIMUM EXPLOITATION!!!” with capital letters and exclamation marks.

    Do they think mice have little wallets and usually pay for their food in a little mousey tienda? They have little mouse jobs and little mouse capitalists, but sometimes they’re tempted by the communist cheese.

    Is this a projection from American Neo-Liberalism which promise free money for economic development to former European colonies, swindle the former European colonies into huge debt from high interest loans that are disguised as free economic aid, and use the pro-Neo-Liberal transnational organizations like International Monetary Fund and World Bank to dictate that the swindled governments should pay off their debt by their support to the criminal activities of foreign large private firms that create all the third world problems in the first place? If the American nationalists think that free things are traps, then why do they present themselves as angelic benevolent foreign heroes who serve others without personal incentives?
