Agree. Slothfulness by We The People have allowed this.

I like this way of stating it. Not sure I agree completely with it, but I like it. Maybe it is slothfulness, but I have always thought of it as We The People believing that a rubric flies on auto pilot.

Well said!

I agree; that is exactly what I said in my first long comment when Gato posted his article this morning.

Sorry, missed it. Laziness, disbelief, misplaced thrust probably all played parts of this.

I've only glanced down that "rabbit hole, " but there are folks who think the problem goes back much further, at least to getting the USA into WW I and WW II. There apparently are some fascinating and also what should be troubling historical questions as to just who financed various wars including the Soviet Revolution. Who would profit? Who would lose? And these aren't just academic questions (and frankly, to ask them today would get you kicked out of academia). At least according to these whisperers, there is more than a little historical linkage to the current US/NATO aggression against Russia using Ukraine as a patsy.
