Another possibilty: some of them hate themselves, not us. Think through the story of the hashashim. All they want is to get back to some form of heaven they've been tempted by through illusion.
You certainly could have made the pointer to Ernest Wolff's piece have more emphasis. All of the division is perhaps to distract us from a pending economic collapse. The WEF and minions are smoking their own stuff and the richest among us have benefited greatly from what we are facing now. The notion of a universal basic income, no more work, central money cannot possibly work. Feeding us constant Netflix and twitter and substacks has no intrinsic value beyond selfish entertainment. We will demand more of life than that and more control of what we decide to do with our lives. Maybe the collapse will return us to days of barter and the terrible inefficiencies of that sort of economy. But we are watching the destruction of money arriving which will see the need to reduce what the government can do along with all sorts of ways to extract from those who do produce and contribute. I have no idea what society can or will do once this collapse happens. I dread life for those with few skills, even more for seniors who have no way to prepare for their life work to become worthless. I can think of an awful lot of people who will become mad as hell and lash out. There may be a need for a new dollar for future use and some new way to accommodate a very sharp decline in standard of living. Most of us will still get food and necessities that will consume nearly all we earn; those with property may retain some but taxes will force lower standards. Investments may tank because of risk avoidance and trying to preserve assets. Many will die, some from sheer neglect but others from the anger and theft as a leveling happens. Imagine the great depression without any moral code because we gave that up some time ago in favor of secular values. And with a shrinking world we still have vast resources ready to exploit should tougher people want them more than we do.
I do hope my dire scenario doesn't play out. But few really see how incompetent our leaders have become. They have taken advantage of divide and conquer, but without us they are nothing.
Very well said. As Mark Oshinskie just put it "For much of the past two years, I underestimated people’s timidity, gullibility, passivity and political tribalism. Eventually, and to my dismay, I learned that, for many, these traits had no limit, either in extent or duration." https://markoshinskie8de.substack.com/p/on-the-eve-of-coronamania-destruction?s=r
>If you did not vote for Biden, then you are a domestic terrorist.
Nope. You're only a terrorist if you acted seditiously, which an alarmingly high number of people have. But no surprise you ignore it, given this:
>We manufacture an “insurrection”, despite the only death or serious injury being a former Army Veteran and “insurrectionist”
Brian Sicknick, Jeffrey Smith, Gunther Hashida and Kyle deFreytag. Three of those are suicides, but the riot was likely so traumatic it caused their deaths.
>We encourage a nuclear armed nation to invade a “peaceful democracy”
My own little survey counting everyone whose antennae have been alerted: three people of my acquaintance. Not including those whom I newly met at protests.
Let's say that I used to chat with 100 people, and I am quite forthcoming about the scam, well it's 3% of my acquaintance who have smelt a rat.
I live in Public Servant country - Wellington NZ, but a lot of my acquaintance is elsewhere in NZ.
Here's hoping my percentage is not representative of anyone else's social group.

The original divide is DARK TRIAD vs LIGHT TRIAD. Then “they” divide the LIGHT further by “personality preference” wrapped in logical fallacies.

Encourage??? Come the fuck on.
You're quite right about the divisive tactics. They distract us with creating infighting. Threaten our culture and discombobulate us.
Funny wanting to make us more tribal; doesn't actually sound like globalism.
It is hard to gauge how many have smelt a rat.
Us Substackers are few.
