I think if you read World Economic Forum's writings and know a little history (Tragedy & Hope by Quigley is a good place to start), the coming chaos which will possibly impact the mere 1%ers--with highly-paid doctors and lawyers getting possibly mistakenly mixed into the targets of rage--is all part of the plan. WEF & Klaus Schwab's Great Reset intend to weaken the USA, because it is too independent and a bulwark against the unified world government, controlled by wealthy banking families & the true elite, they desire--they even state they desire. If this sounds all too conspiratorial to you, please, read Quigley. He was a member of Team Elite, and while his history only goes to the ~60s, his book is credible enough to be taught in poly sci courses all across the world, and it details how a small group of international, rootless bankers have made strides over time to increase their control. If you want to know what their agenda is, you can actually witness it being wrought in realtime. The overarching theme is that important concerns (specifically: economic issues) are to become within the control of this cretinous cabal. There is no room for national sovereignty in this. Social concerns are not just left to the individual nations, they are highlighted ad nauseum and hyped to the extreme, such that all the democratic nations in the world subsume themselves with vicious, divisive national arguments about relatively immaterial social concerns. Their medias endlessly stoke all manner of social problems--racial disparity, the rights of sexual minorities, the problems of religion--ensuring that nobody ever has a vote that can be cast for or against any particular economic choice or other, but rather, just a jumbled mass of nations all internally squabbling about relatively minor and divisive concerns. I mean, it's a strategy as old as time. And it's playing out right here in the USA. Election 2020 was about what? Racism! (The USA meanwhile is one of the least racist places on earth.) What else was it about? LGBTQ rights! Conspiracy theories! What else was it about? COVID! None of the debate was about the rise of China. About reshoring jobs and stifling the rise of a threatening and vile superpower. None of it was about actually cementing some kind of economic win for the 90%.

The same Team Elite is directly responsible for the rise and direction of China. Transpose the domestic squabbling to international squabbling and you will recognize the strategy that is old as as time.

Trump was anti China since the beginning, he put sanctions on China that put us into a pseudo trade war. There’s one side of the political aisle that is hyper focused on immaterial things like LGBTQ rights and racism, and I think everyone reading this knows which side that is.

  It is unbelivable to me that many educated people on HN cannot put themselves in the shoes of the other person and simply sit down and imagine the narratives flip. It's like a rotating doll illusion. Sometimes it looks like its revolving left, sometimes the opposite. It shows the grip of politicians on their followers. It is impossible to imagine someone switching sides today. Ever want to embarrass someone? Ask them to name a couple of things their party does wrong. Or ask them if they can praise one thing about the other party. We're in the deepest delusion in the history. It is time to put down the pitch forks and listen to reason, rationality, logic, kindness and openmindedness. Worse is that they'll attack me for raising these questions (how dare you to be centrist?). These people need help.

    To both the parent and GP: I posted a comment that explicitly pointed out that blaming this or that political party is worse than useless. Of all the places on the Internet to woof for “red” or “blue” this seems like an especially weird one. It’s a fact of life that there’s a bunch of tribal instinct wired into Homo Sapiens, anyone who’s ever been to a professional sporting event knows that. But handling critical, complicated, delicate issues around the governance of the human race with all the subtlety and nuance of a drunk Chelsea supporter in a pub is uh, not the move. I don’t know how many times humanity needs to go through this tiresome exercise where the prosperous just can’t keep their hand out of the cookie jar, distract the body politic with deliberately inflamed tribal identification, and push it until the plebs epater les bourgeoisie, and we get a new set of assholes owning the damned water every needs to drink before we get to some kind of semi-stable Nash equilibrium, but if I never heard a politician’s name or some appeal to identity politics ever again: it would be too soon.
