We can see from history that, despite our circumstances being novel in our experience, they are not novel at all, but a recurring feature of centralization. From time to time, overlords parasitizing collective production through various means of corruption, thoroughly corrupt governments, and make life miserable for their people. When this happens, people riot and dangle the corpses of their enemies from lamp posts. In the 17th Century the Dutch even cooked and at their Prime Minister (I don't recommend this. Eat healthy).
Now, I don't know what makes psychopathic overlords do this periodically, but the evidence shows they do. I guess such conceit is part and parcel of the psychopathy that propels overlords to such positions to begin with. However, we see in history that people only do this when they suffer beyond tolerable limits. Very often we also see that people suffered for decades, suffered terrible genocides, and sometimes cultures have simply vanished when overlords went so haywire that the survival of civilization itself became impossible. This is what happened to the Maya, for example, who just had to have concrete floors that required massive deforestation to fire the quicklime necessary to making their traditional floors, and so devastated their environment they could no longer live there, abandoning their astounding cities, highways, and homelands, never to rise to such splendor again.
I think you're right about humanity waking up to the problems we face - and they're not climate change, opiate addiction, or whether or not we should vote Demoblican or Republicrat. That doesn't even matter, because, as you point out, the 2020 election was just fraud. Voting doesn't fix the problem, because election fraud makes voting irrelevant. I ran across an article yesterday on RT that very gently discussed Hunter Biden reaching a plea agreement with the DOJ under which he will plead guilty to buying a gun while a drug addict, and paying his taxes late two years in a row. RT doesn't mention the $10Ms of bribes Hunter collected, including 10% for 'Pedo Pete', as he affectionately called his father, Joe Biden, the Big Guy, from Burisma, Bioautomat, and other corporations in the Ukraine, along with outfits in China, Romania, and elsewhere. It doesn't mention the hundreds of pornographic pictures Biden uploaded to Pornhub from his account HREast, including evidence of sexual abuse of minors while doing cocaine with them (Malia Obama was only 17 at the time). And it especially doesn't involve Joe Biden receiving $10Ms in bribes through his degenerate son's criminal activities.
We can see from this that not only are national governments corrupted, but the media is part of that corrupt gang. This is corroborated by the Guardian, that claims the real scandal is that "Trump personally pressed Zelenskiy to investigate the Bidens" in the Ukraine. We can deduce from that the problem isn't just the media, nor is it merely corrupt government, but is bigger than either, encompassing both. There's more to it, and the Biden administration provides ample evidence of that scale by his constant advocacy of the imposition of transexuals in government, specifically pushing for indoctrinating children in schools, and this is mirrored by the promotion of the woke agenda by Larry Fink, who runs BlackRock and serves the WEF as Agenda Director.
BlackRock is part of a megacorporation formed by the mutual investment in it, StateStreet, and Vanguard by unnamed investors, that together own a controlling interest in ~90% of the stock corporations of the world. The WEF was formed in 1971 by Klaus Schwab.
Larry Fink pushes the transexual and homosexual agenda on companies that are at the mercy of BlackRock, who owns them, and through the corruption of government, on schools, libraries, and other tax supported institutions.
He notes the pushback from people increasingly aware of the nefarious agenda that links the corrupt mafia across the world, from national and regional governments, to religious institutions, to stock corporations, and NGOs of every description, including transnational organizations like the WEF, the WHO, the UN, and most of the best funded NGOs of the world.
So, we have several options that history shows people have undertaken in similar circumstances. A) we can riot with torches and pitchforks, hanging our intolerable overlords from convenient dangling points, B) do nothing until the problems get so bad that civilization itself collapses, C) whinge about it on the internet, as I am now, or D) all of the above.
I vote for D, all of the above. First, because it doesn't matter what I think, people will do what they're gonna do, and second, because that's what's going to happen. As corruption continues to degrade and deprecate civil society, intolerable conditions are going to result from collapsing government, as we see happening today in San Francisco, some people are never going to do anything they're not forced to do, and are going to do everything they're told to do, because that's what chattel does, and finally, because I'm unable to not whinge on the internet, as we well know.
However, that means things are going to have to become intolerable for humanity to act, and that means they're going to get worse before they get better. Therefore, the wise course of action is to prepare for intolerable conditions, which are going to involve the destruction of supply lines, hyperinflation, and the collapse of civil society, because we're going to need to be able to supply the blessings of civilization when they become unavailable or end up like the Maya and vanish from the pages of history. I have kids. I don't want them returned to Stone Age conditions. I want them to enjoy the Space Age and decentralized automated means of production that will enable them to create inconceivable wealth from the illimitable resources across the vast, barren wasteland of the universe in absolute freedom and enjoy unimaginable felicity in perpetuity. 3D printers, aquaponics, solar panels, AI, and much, much more decentralized means of production exist today, and are rapidly being developed and dispersed across the population.
Just in March 2023 Relativity Space launched the first 3D printed spaceship, Terran 1, off Earth. Yesterday I saw that Rocket Lab is 3D printing carbon fiber tanks for their spaceships. 3D printing is the primary manufacturing method NASA is planning on using on the Moon to build human habitats there, is being used to print tissues and organs with living cells, and produce drugs and other chemicals, including printing liquid water from the vapor in desert air. It's easily automatable, and inexpensive enough that almost everyone can buy one today for the cost of a nice lunch out with family or friends. Now such entry level printers can't print spaceships, yet, but spaceships aren't cheap, and needing $1m 3D printer to make one isn't a major expense relatively speaking.
The point is that 3D printers deliver to humanity the means to manufacture modern goods and services themselves, which renders the capitalist system of industrial factories obsolete, and eliminates the parasitic economic losses endemic to centralization, which increases productivity by orders of magnitude for folks that make their own goods with 3D printers today. AS A BONUS this also eliminates the income of overlords, who are obligate parasites and dependent on centralization for their wealth and power. Bespoke local manufacturing massively outcompetes legacy industrial production, and further enables all other decentralized means of production to be less expensive and more profitable. Almost every part of a home aquaponics setup capable of producing all the organic food for a family in a sunny window can be 3D printed right now. Solar panels can be printed right now. Firearms, flying cars, and electronic circuits can all be printed right now, by ordinary people, in their basements, garages, and on their kitchen tables. In a very few years, those that can afford it will be able to print their own spaceships too, and then the sky's not the limit anymore.
Seize the day, and the means of production, suitable to your personal circumstances, today, and prepare for the problems to come, while actually solving them, increasing your personal wealth, and eliminating the parasitic criminals that depend on our production for their wealth and power by keeping your production yourself.
Thanks!
