That’s what I’ve been saying, just don’t understand their end-game here, their wealth comes from the stock market and strength of the dollar, which both depend on US stability, but they’re just absolutely nuking that. Do they still think they’ll be fine when society at large crumbles around them? Sure, they can afford bunkers and shit, so they’ll get by for a while longer (maybe) than everyone else, but then what? I just don’t get it, they seriously seem to believe they can take a sledgehammer to the government of one of the largest economies in the world, and…profit??? Idiots, hope they burn.

It’s like they think the economic world order is a law of nature.
We could all stop using money today, and decide on a whole different system, and they’d have nothing again but our hatred.
Keep pushing, morons.

yeah at this point I’m not gonna be satisfied with “defeating them at the polls” and Bidening things up for a few years. There need to be real consequences here.

You’re absolutely right. They really don’t understand that once they have all the money, people just switch to something else and everything they hoarded becomes worthless.

The only real value is in our resources, labor, and manufacturing capability, and those will still be here.
This is why I’ve always considered “capital flight” an empty threat. Let capital leave… They’ve done more harm by staying and slowly moving all of our production capacity overseas.
These idiots think destroying the systems will hurt us, they’re so bought into their own bullshit. That’s the silver lining in all this, we’ll build back stronger.
