"As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities."
~ Voltaire
For decades I have seen the culmination of a century of progressive "education" and leftist State propaganda infantilize and essentially lobotomize large swaths of the population, creating a gigantic squabbling herd of supine gullible morons who will literally believe anything, no matter how absurd, and rabidly advocate the suppression, incarceration, and even destruction of those who refuse to accept nonsense.
My contempt for the great unwashed, always high, has in the last three years surpassed even perhaps the level of H. L. Mencken.
Having read William L. Shirer's *Rise and Fall of the Third Reich* and other tomes on totalitarian leftism (redundant?), for years I've understand on an intellectual level how a once purportedly civilized nation could descend into tyranny and barbarism.
Horrifyingly, that understanding has now become personal and visceral.
I live in the People's Republic of California, where the mob just re-elected, by a substantial margin, a leftist totalitarian governor who treated a state of 40 million souls as if it were his personal prison labor camp, based on transparently fraudulent "science", and in blatant violation of the rule of law and common human decency.
And, of course "81 million" "elected" Jacobin Joe Biden, an utterly corrupt pathological liar doing everything in his power to accelerate the descent of the US into one of those Third World "Shithole Countries" the Orange Menace was so fond of mentioning.
We have completely lost our way, and are truly in deep trouble as a nation and society.
I don't disagree with your assessment. I just suspect that that the money powers have over played their hand. Time is short but their haste will be their undoing.
Haste, and the final debasement of the dollar, 98% of the value of which the USG has inflated away, and the resultant loss of reserve currency status, which has been well underway for some time and is accelerating.
We have reached the point in the American Empire that has happened again and again throughout history, where a society's elites become so arrogant and stupid they have no idea what made the empire possible.
Jacobin Joe and his band of merry socialists are arguably the dumbest, most hubristic "leaders" in our history.
The petrodollar has allowed the USG to spend far beyond its means for a very long time by exporting inflation globally. Every fiat currency in history has collapsed, and when this inevitable fate befalls the USD, the resulting shitstorm will truly be something to behold.
As ever, timing is uncertain. What is certain, however, is that Leviathan will not go quietly into the night.
"exporting inflation globally." - Few understand this.
"resulting shitstorm" - Beginning about now as we see the rise in debt service that demands cuts to things people depend on. Devaluation is necessary to abrogate the debt, worldwide. A lot of people will be very, very mad.
I hope you are correct, but I am skeptical.
