I'm not religious. Just logical. Witnessing a loneliness epidemic sweeping the earth since the internet began.
"THEY" are everyone in positions that run corporations, & politicians, people in high positions of authority, including all the DAVOS type of people.
THEY've learned how to tap into commoners' most vulnerable weaknesses in order to extract maximum amounts of money & power for THEMSELVES, incrementally changing the landscape of society to meet THEIR ultimate agenda.
With maximum money & power, THEY can minimize the population, exterminating all the excess undesirable people like cockroaches.
And with all the undesirable bits of the population finally gone, the wealthy will finally have this amazing planet all to themselves. All the beachfront properties & tropical paradises. All the ski resorts. All the lakes & waterfalls. All for THEMSELVES to enjoy with no more poor broken pathetic people overrunning everything.
I'm not trolling, that would take too much mental gymnastics to spew such things without actually believing it. And I don't know what "costly signaling" means.
