I know the USA is collapsing before my eyes but...

Rest at ease, friend, you've landed on free parking. Do what you like but be kind otherwise, straight to jail.
I know they can kill us all but they cant keep us all in chains. Not if we all are together.
Oh. Yeah only we cando that. Making people actually do things agaunst their will is really hard. Takes at least 2:1 and even then you're doing a bad job.
You are ignoring the madness of the mob. Sometimes you just get swept up in a hurricane of hate and cacophony.
I do not. My hate is my own, thank you very much.
I don't think you understand just how rigged everything is by technology asymmetry:
Trump got TWO pieces of his crush-the-country-into-being-his-toy leverage in-place, & everybody's ignoring the unused-half.
He's got ICE for enforcing on all whom THEY deem to be "illegals", & ID is now proven to be inherently-nonvalid, in their eyes..
AND he's got a law which can remove citizenship from all Democrats, all non-Republicans, all non-whites, everybody he wants.
He hasn't touched that law, keeping it in reserve.
He's TRYING to force somebody, ANYbody, to react in a way which "justifies" his using the Insurrection Act to overthrow the constitution, in his insurrection into dictatorship.
His people have been OPENLY working on engineering the PURGE that they get to have ( of all authority & power ) once that happens.
Look up Red Caesar, & see some of the sicker shit..
All Trump has to do is make everybody who won't vow worshipping-of-him "illegal", & suddenly "legally" they get ICE'd.
He can use them all as draftees in his wars against Canada, for annexation ( which is the real reason he "NEEDs" Greenland: to snuff our EU-Lifeline ),
he can use them against Central & South America,
he can just murder oceans of people, & nobody could stop that from happening,
& all that reduces the Civil War Part2 problems he'd be having as he works to extinguish everybody who's loyal to anything other than him.
Understand that the degree of evil in-power is far worse than we'd imagined.
Netanyahu's "Israel" is now nearly at 100,000 murders in their worshipping of their zionism.
0.1 MILLION .. functionally, non-traditional human-sacrifices.
Hamas's murders too go in that category, in my eyes.
So do all the murders done by all the supremacists, of all stripes, all factions, all "religions", etc.
No region, country, skin-color, ethnicity, gender, language, "race", NOBODY is clean or pure in this world, unless they slogged through shit & earned self-conquering, & got addicted to earning-purity.
Which this world prevents, rigorously, from all the lives it can..
From what I've read, Ghislaine murdered a girl for Epstein: to prove herself to "her husband".
That doesn't compute, in me: murdering a girl, a child-life, .. I just can't understand that nature.
True-evil.
& none of those murders either have been prosecuted, or will ever be, from the looks of things.
The 4-tiered-system ( the prejudice that the middle-class has for their inferiors is every-bit as indellible as what the ruling-class has for everybody who is, in the class-category/caste-category system, their "inferior" ) is simply too profound an addiction.
ruling-class / middle-class / working-class / underclass
Paul Fussell wrote about as much of it as he encountered & understood, last-century..
He noted that it isn't possible for people to change their class: it's instinct-level.
One's children can climb to be 1-category-up, but onself can't.
THAT is interesting, because it means that it's nurture, not nature, proven in yet another way..
( the book "Nature vs Nurture", or whatever that book was called, by the woman who called-out the academic-establishment's propaganda that parents are the culture that children embody..
no, they may embody coping-mechanisms, but the culture they embody is the culture of their peers.
& this layer-of-evidence, on top of that, means that there is a speed-limit for multi-generation culture-change!
Consider what that means, as we're swinging into the Regional Consolidation stage of WW3, which is going to last into the 2030's.. )
Anyways, Trump's on-track to shatter all limits, soon ( a stroke can "cure" a person, just as it can abolish a person: if all the humaneness gets annihilated from his brain, so that there's no-more-conflictedness .. that'd work, wouldn't it?
For him..
Fundamentally, humankind is a junkie, & unconscious-ego-"godhood"-ignorance is the junk/drug that humankind's addicted-to.
Imagine how great the force would have to be, to enforce humankind's unconscious-nature to change, to force-adapt, to force-into-growing-up..
That amount of force .. wouldn't leave any survivors??
it's close..
The crushing hell of life in Russia, or in "Tibet", for Tibetans, or for the Uyghurs, or for the Sudanese, or for the Palestinians, or for anybody rampaged-on by the Boko Haram gangs..
etc, etc, etc..
what our own governments did to the American Indians..
the MILLIONS of Africans trafficked as slaves into the US, on 12,000 ships..
Technology now multiplies feudalism into something that .. can't be undone.
Humankind's window-of-opportunity ( for surviving The Great Filter ) is closing, & if humankind won't grow-up enough, then .. we're earning a species DarwinAward, this century.
It's that final.
& I'm saying that while believing that nukes won't be how we earn extinguishment.
I believe KesslerSyndrome is going to render all the ICBM's, etc, useless, & so it'll have to be done by conventional-war.
Until there are no billions left.
& then no 100's-of-millions left.
& so-on, until only a grown-up remnant exists, IF humankind can earn that.. maybe..
Please consider East Germany as significant-evidence: the majority of people in East Germany were snitching in order to ingratiate themselves with the authorities.. accusing others, to save themselves in the "approval" of institutional machiavellianism, narcissism, & sociopathy..
That is human-nature.
Russia is human-nature.
Netanyahu's "Israel" is human-nature.
So is the good stuff, but politics selects-for ideology & prejudice, not for objectivty or correct-reasoning..
multiply that principle by 8+billion people..
& then the inevitability of this-phase-change becomes obvious.
Remember how the Democrats "elected" Harris?
THAT is how humanity will "protect" itself: assuming, making-believing, etc.
All the pseudojournalism, platforming gaslighting & calling-into-question or refusing-to-admit-the-existence-of, all contradictory meanings..
"conflict-of-interest is the root of corruption" seems true.
Here's a question for you, to give you some idea of just how much opportunity has been thrown-away:
You know that millions on the left complain about how businesses exploit them, right?
Why don't the left create businesses which don't exploit/abuse people?
What's stopping them?
What's stopping them from competing-against moneyarchy & enforcing-of-oligarchy?
They WON'T compete against that, in the arena.
Same as Harris "saved" the US by "winning" the election.
comforting-ignorance is profoundly-preferred to the hurtful-difficulties of growing-up, right?
That's natural..
now don't merely multiply that by 8.5B people, it's non-linear: groups are drastically more indellible than individuals are:
multiply that by about 8.5B^2.
That's more like the force involved.
Yes, whole-species-growing-up is .. theoretically-possible..
but it isn't more than infinitesimally-probable.
I believe a remnant will live, into next-century.
IF they win..
it's going to be THAT bad, once the tippingpoint gets crossed.
Regional-consolidation 1st, then, next-decade, the WAR begins, region-against-region, until there's only 1 empire/alliance left alive, near the end of this century.
Oh, & if you want to maintain that "they can't make all of us slaves" .. try asking that question of women in oppressive cultures..
& see how many millenia it has been maintained by men who pretend that they're "protecting" women..
THAT degree of "integrity" is what is committed to enforcing humankind's obliteration, so as to "prove" that growing-up "can't" happen..
Boot-camp, but for everbody: for the entire-species.
In normal boot-camp, they work to prevent the death-rate from getting them in trouble, right?
but in whole-planet-bootcamp, with no rules .. can you understand just what's going to be normal in the next few months?
