davis gets exactly where we are and might be heading, but it ain't a pretty sight;

What we are facing is greater than war, greater than civil war, greater than genocide, greater than worldwide migration, greater than being conquered; it’s greater than recession or depression, dispossession, bankruptcy or collapse. It’s even greater than famine or disease. It’s all of these things at the same time. Either this is a coordinated effort by numerous nations across the globe, the maladministration of global elites (who have their fingers in everything) or some sort of mass psychosis. I don’t totally rule out a combination of these forces, either.

The only ones seeming to suffer from this worldwide psychosis are the Western societies. I don’t even particularly blame the immigrants flooding our shores with the encouragement and subsidies offered by the Western governments. It is the Western governments themselves that carry all the blame and deserve the retribution of a besieged people. Going out to fight against a third-world population is as pointless as shooting oneself in their own foot. Setting aside, of course, immediate and devastating punishment for crimes committed against one’s family or neighbors. The immigrants were brought here, the doors opened for them and often even rescued by government agencies.

The governments take our taxes, largely willingly offered in a lot of cases, but will rip it from one’s very hands if necessary. That is a flaw of the system in itself, because it allows for no political leverage. The opposing party is supposed to use leverage of the purse to satisfy their constituents, but long ago they had found that they could all do much more if neither side hindered spending.

If one wants to look at the overall trend since 1787, they will find an increasing and intentional sapping of political leverage the people might exert against the irrational and self-serving interests of politicians. They just take the money and do with it whatever they will, relying on some future election to sort itself out as to whether it was an egregious enough theft to warrant a replacement.......more..........
