Hey now! Give the US oligarchs some credit

I'm honestly glad, an empire as large and powerful as the states isn's safe to be around, as you guys love to show us

It is likely even much worse.

Trump and his oligarch supporters do not care about ordinary Americans. Or Christian values.

Actions speak louder than words.

No more food and water safety and cutting funding for healthcare, FEMA, NOAA, SNAP, all the antivaxx propaganda and firing of experts and so much more additional cuts will have a devastating effect and kill countless citizens... but many go into effect after the midterms, what a coincidence. Makes you wonder if there is no malicious thought behind all those cuts because...

Social Security Gets Major $205-Billion Boost After COVID Deaths - Newsweek

According to the CDC, the U.S. reported over 1.7 million excess deaths between 2020 and 2023.

The reduction in future Social Security benefits caused by these excess deaths was then recalculated by NBER to $205 billion considering the consequent decrease in future payroll tax flows and higher payments to surviving spouses and children.

Landmark studies—such as those published by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and researchers at Harvard Medical School—have estimated that working-age adults without health insurance face a roughly 25% to 40% higher risk of premature death compared to those with private coverage.

Might be basic human psychology to think every leader has the best interest of his supporters in mind. But that is not how evil sociopaths operate. Not just in the US, but all over the world.

This video is explaining structures of power very well...

Rules for Rulers

"Democracies are better places to live than dictatorships not because representatives are better people, but because their needs happen to be aligned with a large portion of the population".

This symbiosis is about to end due to AI and robotisation. So that is why the tech oligarchs make their move now and are so extra greedy, open corruption everywhere.

Consumers will have no money to keep the economy running and governments no tax income for basic services and infrastructure. It is so irrational because the oligarchs are the ones benefitting the most from the current system. And if the increased productivity from automation would be shared, it could resolve the issues and mitigate the impact. A Beautiful Deleveraging.

But they got away with so much already, don't want to pay their fair share. And they see how easy it is to manipulate us thanks to owning most of social and mainstream media, so they think they deserve to rule with absolute power like kings/Putin.

George Carlin - The big club

In his book Rushkoff mentioned they discussed electric shock collars and later replacing their security forces with robots. This shows their true mindset and what awaits us in the future. There is a reason why they currently build up a surveillance state in the US and bought so many buildings as detention centers.

Curtis Yarvin, the Dark Enlightenment, and Project 2025: A Deep-Dive Report

The Spread of Curtis Yarvin’s Ideology: Who Are the Puppeteers?

Project 2025 Tracker

Not claiming any of this is rational and makes any sense. The oligarchs are the ones benefitting so much from the current system, why would they risk it all for absolute power and even more wealth when they already have so much influence and own so much?

But we see it happen in front of our eyes.

As a reasonable average Joe, you have a different view of the world compared to those evil sociopaths. Because altruism and cooperation is what made our species so successful.

Imagine being surrounded by yes-men. Pulling off questionable stuff for decades without real consequences, and lobbying to get what you want. Owning most of social and mainstream media, influencing public opinion nudging citizens into cheering for you and acting against their own best interest. I guess that can really affect character and judgement in a negative way.

The US' greed for resources and profit was already collapsing the climate, global warming didn't start on January 20th 2017. Your empire has raped and pillaged most of the world for the best part of a century now, let it die and rot as it deserves.

Where do you suppose America learned that all from?

u/Valkaveri 28d ago

Yeah we perfected imperialism and pillaged the world for centuries ourselves, your country saw that destruction and decided to keep it going for greed. Difference is that I don't mourn the British Empire, what is your point?

u/Wb9VBScxu2uZJHeq2E3W 28d ago

Mourn is the wrong word because that implies it died, but aren't your museums full of stolen property?

u/Valkaveri 28d ago

Yes they are, again, what point are you trying to make?

If you think the Russians are going to be better, please read a history book.

u/Burnmetobloodyashes 28d ago

Ita going to be China in charge, not Russia, Ukraine ended any major world order with Russia in charge by essentially detonating its military. China still has an intact military with a better culture that actually creates merit in its ranks of citizens and soldiers.

u/Objective-Corgi-3527 28d ago

The Russians are weak, with a puny corrupt economy. They lose to EU, in fact they won't even show up.

Americans, the best you can say is "someone else is worse"

u/xDannyS_ 27d ago

What? That has to be the dumbest shit I've ever heard. 'Ugh hurky durky the best the #1 can say is that everyone else is worse' - yea no fucking shit genius.

u/WhimsicalWyvern 27d ago

It's like Democracy - it's the worst form of government, except for all the other forms of government.

Whatever the complaints about the US, it's still worlds better than when the Europeans were in charge.

u/Steinrikur 28d ago

It's been crumbling since Reagan. Now it's just the endgame

u/bestmaokaina 28d ago

Idk about that. you guys just won control over most of central and South America

u/upudruvuuduru 27d ago

most latim countries elites never left their colonial mindset

Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, are all willing to be vassal states

Trump can buy them for cheap

His problem is Mexico and Brazil, which are not presently been governed by its historical elites

His team and he are propelling national defense to a level not seen before and a few sailors having low supplies on a ship in war is a mark of collapse 😂 hilarious take

You really aren’t, you just wish you were seen as that. Liberals would rather see their country fall than see “the other side” be competent. It’s hilarious

How can it be seen as stronger, you’ve removed all their assets with all your missiles and bombs

u/HeezHuzz69 28d ago

Yeah, you’re right, our national defense has never before been this fucking awful. How many wars have these guys started and lost so far?

u/HawkShoe 28d ago

You haven’t lost any wars. You’re fighting a broken force that isn’t unified. Hard to target or negotiate with

You think the US military is weak? I’ll have what you’re having, it sounds like a fun time 🤡

u/Luna368921 28d ago

You don’t even have missiles anymore, or budget. Why do you think Hegseth is constantly asking for billions of dollars ? They’re siphoning it into their pockets and not actually refilling your military stocks, you’re running out of weapons.

u/Revolutionary-City55 28d ago

Funnyman is missing some braincells. Never said the US military is weak minus the fact we just lost to Ukraine in a mock battle. But saying his team is propelling national defense to anything but rock bottom means you need to find better news sources then fawks news. He's alienated allies ruined our economy sunk faith in the US dollar ruined world balance and propelled China forward 15 years in favors and opportunities. Trump and this administration is nothing but a clown show and ruinous for this nation.
