It's the game plan. Destroy, privatize, and profit while taking more money from We the People while delivering less and making the country fundamentally weaker in immeasurable ways.
Buying the media and indoctrinating the masses to "us good they bad" worked remarkably well.
If Biden so much as sneezes the media are up in arms, but an illegal immigrant bypassing the congress and illegally taking control over the Treasury System... Nothing.
It would be unconscionable to buy US weapons at this point - after literal threats of invasion, we're still considering buying weapons with a built-in killswitch from the potential aggressor?
EU politicians need to face reality, transatlanticism is dead. We need to be able to stand on our own.
Not saying that America is any better...but my impression is that the EU's talent pool is very shallow in the "good at facing reality" category. And that the voters have long preferred that state of affairs.
Of course, if suddenly elected, politicians from that puny pool might prove themselves painfully shallow in "competence" category.
How does threatening your closest allies with invasion fit in with "things like that"? How does unelected oligarchs gaining control over Treasury systems with no oversight or legal basis?
> "What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could not understand it, it could not be released because of national security. And their sense of identification with Hitler, their trust in him, made it easier to widen this gap and reassured those who would otherwise have worried about it."
> "But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That’s the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked—if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in ’43 had come immediately after the ‘German Firm’ stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in ’33. But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.
What the hell am I supposed to do at this point? I've been doing everything I can for years to try to prevent this type of outcome. At this point it's happening, and vague "do something" comments aren't helping.
We were warning people for years. We tried telling people to vote. They just couldn't be bothered, and a third of the country have been radicalized to the point they only wish they could shoot "undesirables" in broad daylight.
It's too late now. They control every branch of the government, they've totally removed the mask and have begun unabashed purges and passing laws making voting against them illegal (see Tennessee this week).
