    This is why the fascist billionaires are carrying out their great takeover. They know the jig is up and everything’s going to crumble down and no one will escape it.

    They just want to rob whatever they still can before they too croak. Thre is no great plan for their survival beyond a few years in an underground bunker, either…

      It’s a hilariously incompetent strategy by the rich because they’re more dependent on a functioning society than any other group. You can tell they’re not smart nor good leaders when they build luxury bunkers in New Zealand because those won’t save them from losing virtually (and possibly literally) everything they have. They have everything to lose and the only thing they need to do to keep their wealth and power is to contribute to the society they’re living off of. They’re failing miserably because they lack compassion. It will be their downfall.

        It is why they are hastily trying to turn the calendar back to 1933 but they might overshoot and get 1789.

        but isn’t their strategy literally how they have 90 percent of the wealth? seems a crushingly effective strategy. what do you suppose their downfall looks like? does it happen before or after ours?

      Elon literally built a doomsday retreat in Texas, where most of the women he’s fathered children live. as well as most of his children.
      some notable exceptions, Grimes isnt there, nor the child who became Trans. for obvious reasons

    within the next decade?

    We’re already most of the way there. Inept, Incompetent, and overtly corrupt governments engraging the population homelessness, unemployment, unpopular immigration and costs of necessities going haywire trade wars brewing, Oh, and World War III is basically already in it’s pre-game show stage with the fighting in Europe.

    I’m at the point where Im expecting it any day. the US is just one bad move away from causing an all out revolt, because part of its population rightly thinks that the new admnistration is full of mobsters, tyrants, and fascists.

    “within the next decade” sounds like an unnecessarily long view on it. Next Christmas will come within the next decade too but it doesn’t mean it’ll be 10 years from now.

    So why don’t we just eat the rich? Why can’t we do the gamestop stock thing again at a bigger scale?

      10 years ago, it was a night and day better world state.

      Even Trump 1.0, the worst thing in the world at the time was the ISIS threat. In Trump 2.0, We live in a world with

      • WW3 Basically in its opening stage in Ukraine, Russia is pretty much fucked, but NATO is fucked too now that the US is run by someone who hates it
      • Post Covid destruction of the economy
      • The billionares have turned megalomaniac and wormed their way into government ears
      • The US had an attempted Coup, the person who organized it is now the POTUS. and the people who participated in it are on the streets
      • the gradual increase of uneducated stupidity through social media and MSM TV Brainrot.

      We’ve basically been in a spiral towards armageddon this decade, the 2020s are BRUTAL compared to the mid 2010s.
