It would be too racist/bigot/white supremacist/maga/russian bot did i forget a buzzword?

Theres the corrosive element: people's willingness to embrace conspiracy theories about the total control of media and politics and the military industrial complex, their abstraction of conflicts and controversies into a greater narrative of an oppressive global order where individual actions and decisions don't matter
That is what excuses people of their own responsibilities and enables folks to think they are committing noble acts to save our planet when they commit acute harm. Because of some undefinable unprovable diffuse harm from the 'system' they try to defeat with direct violence

That was all over Ryan Rouths twitter and he's not the first. James T Hodgkinson fired on Scalice and Paul while screaming about healthcare. Now here I am with tripled premiums thanks to Obamacare. Real obtuse worldview, an ability to abstract out thinking to larger than oneself rather than abstract oneself to see it from a larger lens

The reality is the world is run by morons, fallible people who can't keep conspiracies hidden. Joe Biden really is that doddering, Trump really is that full of hot air, Kamala really is that insipid. We aren't dancing to anyone's tune, there's no spooky russians or chinese manipulating us. We're just acting in our irrational self disinterest.

Believing that there are zero malicious bad actors is no less foolish than believing every single actor is malicious

These people are NOT morons, they are highly educated, highly competent, and highly driven people who know exactly what they are doing and have their own ideologies and worldviews on the role of government & privileges of the people (the masses).

against spiritual wickedness in high places"

Wow! I didn't know "cleaning the swamp" was in the Bible.

There's a difference between individual bad actors and a confederacy of them. The FBI probe was a great example of that. Individual sympathizers and glory seekers and self interested ass covering careerminded bootlickers all acted in parallel. The extent of their actual conspiracy to undermine Trump was half baked and tepid, just conjuring a bogus wiretap at Obama and Biden's behest and leaking the results when they found nothing exploitable

Yes they all have their own ideologies and worldviews and interests, and they conflict with one another as often as they work strategically. At least Trump has the decency to expose this turmoil to the sunlight as his underlings ate each others faces for 4 years. Biden employed Ukrainian partisans and war profiteers and neoliberal warhawks who all got in the business of Ukraine together for their own purposes, aligned only in action not intent

They are all, however, morons

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men:
but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay:



Nothing insidious going on outside the gates of reality, its all just random coincidence that chaos never ceases, just ask goomshill.

There is zero doubt that there exists a confederacy of bad malicious actors. This isn't the "deep state", or the entirety of the Federal government staff, but this is a ruling clique or cabal that has absolute power over the democratic party and formerly significant power within the republican party, this is the clique of Clinton/Obama/Kerry/Pelosi/Bush/Cheney. These 6 names here are NOT morons, they are highly educated highly competent and highly motivated people who share a common worldview, that worldview is specifically orthodox Marxism aka Trotskyism. They believe with a deep conviction that this ideology, if given absolute power to enact, will better the world and better the lives of all people's. The argument that "real communism hasn't been tried" actually does have merit here, because orthodox Marxism within a highly educated prosperous Western nation has in truth NOT been tried. The communist revolutionaries in Germany circa 1918 held this ideology but were brutally put down and slaughtered by the Freikorps on orders from the provisional German government (I won't speak the leaders names but you know who I'm referring to). This is also the worldview held in majority by the Jewish elites, which is where the Judeo-Bolshevism idea draws legitimacy from. It's important to note that these people are anti-Stalinist and opposed the cold war Russian regime which was antithetical to orthodox Marxist ideology.

The ruling clique has no conflict in their ideologies, but the people under them often do. This is why it is difficult for them to enact their treachery with total loyalty & lockstep from their staff or their staff's staff etc. Then you have individual power chasers or their own traitors within their midst.

They have morons that they put on as puppets in an attempt to shore up support from other civilian morons, namely Biden & Harris, but it is important to understand these people are puppets acting in service of their masters (who are not morons in the slightest). They view Ukraine and Ukrainians as a means to an end, and that end is absolute centralized government power (orthodox Marxism) which in their minds will usher in a new golden era of humanity.

/e added 2 more names

Some jokes get funnier and funnier the more you run them into the ground.
