An old-school meme featuring a scene from the movie "Office Space." Caption: If U.S. citizens could stop their criminal regime from terrorizing the world, that would be great.

The saving grace is the same as the Nazis. They are not working together twords a common goal but using eachother to get to individual goals. The dark enlightenment crowd wants full on collapse. No more Russia or USA they want technofeudalistic city states. Trump wants money and his name on stuff before he dies. Miller wants to be Goebbels. Don Jr wants to fix bets and do lines. JD wants to be president. A bunch of these idiots want the literal rapture.

    I agree with most of this, though I do think the U.S. will still become a full-blown autocracy soon, since there’s hardly any resistance.

    For the techno-fascists, the need to transform larger cooperatives - such as the EU - into smaller, less influential entities exists only where they expect resistance; that is precisely what they do to weaken resistance by splitting more powerful large units into smaller, less influential parts.

    This does not seem necessary for the US, since the country has effectively been a de facto oligarchy for decades. However, I now think that the oligarchs have realized they no longer need to pretend that the US is a democracy. After all, it is much easier for the actual rulers if they can simply make their opponents disappear, as their counterparts in Russia do.

    I think you'll be suprised how fast it all unravels once we start to hit tipping points. Natural disaster for instance is not a part of any of this dickheads plans. Nor are they planning for the famine this war will cause indirectly. This whole plot was thought up by the spoiled grandchildren of real spooks. A single hurricane hitting oil refineries in the gulf or a bond sell off would be catastrophic for these plans made in a vacuum
