America has been ruled by an Oligarchic elite since 1913. They profit from illness, war, and other calamities by creating underclasses of enslaved masses to keep the middle class from gaining too much power. This has ebbed and flowed over time. Anyone that shows intentions to disrupt this arrangement is brutalized or killed if they become too influential. The Oligarchs used to be predominantly America-centric, but they have become part of the Eugenicist globalist new world order. We all basically exist at their mercy now. They have a depopulation agenda that is accelerating rapidly and it will result in around 500 million people on the planet by the end of the century. For this mass genocide event, they will give each other awards.

Spot on, Rascal. (Or is it Nick?) Sadly, nearly everybody thinks they will live in their current state of blissful un-awareness for 70 or 80 years and then pass blissfully into heaven, never having experienced any suffering, never taking a stand on anything of worth, never having examined the question of the reason and purpose of their lives in the first place, and never actually examining any of what you said above to see if it's true.

Truth. Most people are willfully blind, just wanting to get along in life without too much strife, and little examination of history or their place within it. Ignorance being bliss and all. Once you’ve seen America through the Oligarch lens, you can’t unsee it and it explains literally everything that’s been happening. If I’ve learned one thing from Jordan Peterson it is that, without gratitude, life is pretty much long periods of suffering punctuated by brief periods of relief and occasional joy. With gratitude, we can find meaning and purpose in the suffering and better endure it, leading to more joy over time. It’s taken me 45 years and I’m just beginning to understand that aging doesn’t have to be a source for despair but an opportunity to improve myself and others. My handle is my goofy derivation of Raskalnikov from Crime and Punishment. I think one of the most inventive characters in all of literature. And sometimes as I read the book, I identified with what he felt.
