I stated an overarching cause... but in the name of entertainment, what reason do you think I think?

Privatise profit. Socialise everything else. It's certainly not a new plan, but absolutely, it's a pretty good plan given that so few are critically aware enough to see it for what it is. Just waiting for the low price of oil to filter through to the pump

"We're being robbed"

........ still cracks me up. You've always been getting robbed, this is how the markets work.

But what about the people who are living week to week on shit money that are likely to lose their jobs due to lost productivity? "Ah well, unlucky for them, that's how the markets work"

The intelligent never cease to display just how dumb they actually are.

True! - Them and the aged infirm and perhaps very young are the targets of the "population control" efforts to get the population back down to their (500,000,000?)??? target - they are relentless in their bid for control.

It is a simple failing of humanity and his love of "every man for himself" that such games can be played. Stockholm Syndrome. Indoctrination. Culturalisation. Whatever we decide to call it, it all boils down to the one thing. Feeble minds follow feeble minds blindly, so long as they quack like a duck.

To be fair though - I think they quack in code?

I dunno if I'd call dumping ones brain at the first sight of something that someone else calls authority should be allowed to fall into the category of fairness... especially given that the outcomes aren't encoded, yet the support remains. They are because We aren't.

Bloody hell they are really going for it now according to the radio "news" the plan is working for them without even having to try - they are very good at what they do - we really suck!

What was the wireless saying?

"They" don't need to do anything outside of maintaining the status quo til the gig is up, that's all "they" have ever had to do given that society polices itself using "their" rules (panopticon). Then, "they" simply step away. Will this time be any different from the last times? They are because We aren't, still. The balance of probability thus far says no, we're fucked. "They" are shit at what they do. "We" are good at it on "their" behalf. So yeah, that makes us exceptionally sucky. But hey, people are busy

Coz if you can't see it, it isn't happening. Yes, excellent solution. Up there with burning books... and an excellent behaviour that allows creating slave economies without anyone noticing a piece of piss... because no one is looking

... poetic in ways.

Honestly, I read the first 5 or 6 paragraphs and it didn't get any better than the first one below. He won't vote for the administration that he believes would be best for the country, because he doesn't like the guy (Trump) selected to do just one of the jobs out of the tens of millions of jobs that make up that government that best fits his views.

SERIOUSLY FUCKING STUPID!

The Trump Presidency Is Over

"When, in January 2016, I wrote that despite being a lifelong Republican who worked in the previous three GOP administrations, I would never vote for Donald Trump, even though his administration would align much more with my policy views than a Hillary Clinton presidency would, a lot of my Republican friends were befuddled. How could I not vote for a person who checked far more of my policy boxes than his opponent?"
