Don’t despair. This will all be over after the dollar is officially dead and no longer used as the world’s reserve currency. After that, whatever happens in the USA will be mostly irrelevant to the rest of the world as long as we stay home and finally stop the decades of bombing and killing going on in order to promote “democracy”. We’ll stop because we won’t have the resources anymore to run our military as we are now. Just as we will lack the money to keep either our health care or our education systems running. And both of those institutions are also little more than useless parasites and criminal operations. It’s all going to end in disaster and death – and we will richly deserve all the suffering we get. What we’ve been doing to other nations will sometime soon be done to us. And it might end with most of us getting mass graves done by bulldozer instead of the ten thousand dollar funerals for each and everyone that we’re used to. There won’t be enough embalming fluid for that.
There is no “straightening it out”. We live in a paradigm unknown to history…absolute full surveillance is now a state option. There will be no gatherings of the “faithful opposition”, save without heavy governmental participation. There will be no unobserved movements that might tend to counter governmental actions. There will be no meaningful “blows against the empire”….
The Internets. Computers. The NSA. I would opine that we should accept this, and party like it’s 1984.
I wondered the exact same thing. Can you imagine how much data has already been scrubbed or “lost” in this entire fiasco? I hope and pray that Elon Musk has a bigger vision and knows what he’s doing. Who is there left to trust anymore? Our government lies to us, the media lies to us, our doctors and corporate medicine lie to us, our schools are filled with left-wing nuts who want to turn our children into sexual beings before they are mature enough to understand what that even means. I think we have now become a dystopian society and that we are beyond hope and beyond repair at this point. It’s every man for himself now and there will be much suffering ahead. Not even Trump can save us from the mess that’s been created. I weep for what this country once was.
