That's an apt description of it. My own abstract is: there's been a collective understanding that the only terms a dominant party needs to adhere to are the ones that can be enforced by the little guy. If a rule can't be enfo

Neither had I, until the last few years when everybody decided to abandon all obligation to uphold their end of every contract because they thought they could get away with it. In the last year alone I've sued my HOA, employer, and fir

The moment people go hungry because of you, they will eat each other long before they think to challenge their oppressors. Those selling you the romance of revolution are ones sabotaging your food supply. They're sadists, and taunting

That describes aristocracy. Those have been economically and politically compromised, or were assassinated in the 1930s. Modern elites do not belong to any particular country; this is the entire selling point of globalism. They have no stak

I noticed what you describe 5 years ago. Since then, not only have we lost autonomy, but there was no top-down direction to begin with. And there is none now. Nobody knows what the next incentive to chase is, so they're liquidating h

I'm with you in spirit but publishers are hardly blameless. SEO optimization and framework bloat made internet browsing downright unpleasant since the late 2000s. Google is delivering a solution to a problem they [indirectly?] created.
