What’s the endgame?

  We just watch.

  I don’t think that’s accurate, and it became especially true in Chicago and Minnesota when the sensationalist nature of the events there forced the MSM to report on it. The issue here is that most people only have power at the local level, so unless you’re going full Luigi, the contributions you or I are making are local and not really notable. But they’re happening regardless.

  please help me understand where my taxes go (without representation)

  If you’re an American, mostly, your taxes are going to three things: The military and war, Social Security, and Medicare. Those are the big three things. The corruption you’re seeing is the result of entrenched legislators and political parties leveraging their offices to enrich themselves and the billionaire class, and their greed has no limit, therefore the people keep suffering more and more and it’s by design. There’s also no way to change it, because those in power are not going to vote themselves into less power. Your only power to make lasting change is local.

    That last part…

    With the tech ideology and extremism happening that really is part of the goal. Once AI gets fully implemented into government along with digitizing life, then you will absolutely have to be subservient to them or be an outcast to the entire civilization.

    In a way look at it like the middle eastern countries now that get shit on. That’s going to be many of us regular people in the future.

  There is no endgame. Trump is completely insane and mentally incapacitated. All the other fuckers are just in it for the money and attention and will do absolutely anything for just another day in the sun. Nobody is in control and nobody has a plan. Actually, there are many people with plans but non of them are in a position to really implement them. The world right now is a rudderless ship drifting towards a waterfall.

  There’s no “end game” - the world’s in constant flux.

  There’s a million stories, a million agendas, a million players (8 billion?)

  Every day there’s a change in circumstance, so every day each agenda/story shifts to accommodate, as the players take new approaches to achieve whatever goals they have today.

  Nothing is ever as simple as “end game”.

  So the US has dumped billions

  No it hasn’t.

  Usa promises huge, and delivers late.

  Then, when they spend “money”, then it’s not actual money (that’s the biggest scam). The money goes to somewhere inside their own country, where prices are sky high, and then things go to somewhere. Transported again on sky high prices (if at all).

  This way, the bragged amounts are several orders of magnitude above the value at the receiving end.

  I’ve been watching this Chinese professor talking about eschatology, and it seems to be on point.

  And it’s wild because it is basically what the conspiracies are all about.

  These two videos in particular;

    He always goes just one step too far for me and makes blanket assumptions that only serve to “prove” his point.

    Once he did the whole “mark of the beast, microchip you, brand you” and the Freemasons bit I remember from my conspiracy theory days 20 years ago I just groaned… In videos previously he just ended with “oh btw this is a war for control of global human consciousness.” Like come on man…

    I know he’s making predictions, but too many times he says x,y,z will happen because it’s their only choice when it isn’t. A student even asked him why can’t the US just claim victory and back out and he claims the entire economy would collapse and Iran would become the leader of the Middle East. Major doubt there. Another time he mentioned Israel wants the us to collapse so they can be the big dog in the middle east, but again, how does that make and sense? Israel can just keep using us as they have been forever to do their heavy lifting and keep shoveling money at them.

    I find his videos are like 70% nodding in agreement or at least saying ok that make a bit of sense and 30% like what the actual fuck man, stop watching YouTube conspiracy videos…

  There are multiple levels going-on:

  Surface-level is mere “makeup”/distractions.

  Underneath that is the ideologies level.

  Under that is the fight between animal-reactions vs upright-correct-reasoning, which is what is required of our-species, to survive The Great Filter, which is the next 6-decades of wars.

  ---

  Within the ideologies-level, ideologies are fighting to break whatever it is that they hate.

  As was explained in some book published years ago, the Kremlin began investing in Trump in the 1980’s or so.

  That’s paying-off, now.

  Apparently there’s some gameshow movie, which shows that upper-middle-class people, even when competing against each-other, will join together to break their class-inferiors, beneath them.

  That is true of all identity-politics.

  The Academic-class-system does it ( just ask Sabine Hossenfelder, who was fired as a physicist, for not being a man ), gender-identity/politics does it, race-politics/identity does it, etc.

  So, the communist-party-imperialisms of the world work at exterminating any “other” who competes against them ( see Tibet, the Uyghurs, Hong Kong, the cultural-expression of Brutalism throughout the USSR, etc, for stark evidence of communism’s imperialism ), AND the fascists, with their cult-of-personality centrism, & their imperialisms also do this.

  “Horseshoe theory of politics”, that extreme-left & extreme-right are actually near-indistinguishable-in-behavior-towards-others, is oversimplification:

  it’s partly authoritarianism, which both are devout to, and imperialism, which both are devout to, AND it is rejection/extermination-of-diversity.

  That new law in China that ALL must learn Mandarin, is simply part of the communist snuffing-of-diversity, which the USSR did quite well, too.

  Once the far-right understands completely how breaking all non-fascist-will from all authority is their tactical-NEED, then there will be no pretence of Russia being Trump’s enemy, anymore.

  He’ll invoke the Insurrection Act, PURGE all who would threaten his kingdom ( that is “Dictatorship 101”, & I’m quoting a textbook-on-dictatorship, with that point ), & then … enforce his all-Americas “manifest destiny”.

  • annexing Canada, using Greenland to sever our EU-lifeline
  • Civil War Part2: confederate reverse-takeover & vengeance
  • imperial-expansion throughout Central & South America

  Why should he care about the other regions of the globe, when he can enforce his absolute “god”-hood, here?

  He wasn’t kidding about “Cuba is next”.

  Nor was he kidding about Venezuela.

  Or Mexico.

  Or Greenland.

  Or Canada.

  Part of the problem is false-framing:

  There is NO true-democracy in the West: representative-republic ISN’T democracy, it is 1-times ( minimum ) removed from democracy.

  In actual-democracy, the CITIZENS vote on the ISSUES.

  In representative-republic, “representatives” are elected, & then they decide on the citizenry’s behalf, what the citizenry’s being ruled-by.

  Totally different paradigm.

  Nowadays we’ve got the technology to make actual-democracy possible, but nobody’s got the spine to do it.

  Worse, exactly as pilot’s-licensing dictates who can vote on managing an airliner ( the passengers, who outnumber the pilots, have NO say in managing the aircraft, due to not being competent, not being responsible, & not being accountable for that work ), the same principle is required in civil-voting.

  People whose loyalty isn’t to the country, but instead is to some-other country, or to oligarchy, or to some ideology, cannot be permitted to vote, XOR the country’s inescapably-highjacked: it’s only a matter of time.

  The US is demonstrating this, shamelessly.

  But that would mean being able to measure loyalty in people.

  Now that can be done, with psychology & tech.

  The deepest level, though, is animal-reacting fighting-off upright-correct-reasoning.

  The whole unconscious-mind ego-apocalypse-fighting-off-moral-anxiety thing, that is manifesting through all the different ideologies/religions, is this.

  Unconscious-ignorance is working itself into THE TANTRUM/POGROM TO BREAK GOD AND MAKE GOD OBEY!! its totalitarian-domion.

  THAT will exterminate nearly-all humankind in the next 6-decades.

  The piddling little violence we’re seeing today ( 2026-03-13 ), is NOTHING compared with what we’re going to be seeing by the end of April, from the looks of it, as THE WHOLE WORLD swings into the Regional Consolidation Wars { Americas ; Europe, with China backing Putin to mow-down the European threat to future Chinese planet-dominion ; Asia, once the West abandons it, is China’s ; Africa will be owned by Saudi Arabia, too, in 7 years }

  Unconscious-mind is the RULER of our world.

  It’s ego-games obliterate more lives than ANY other force in the world.

  We “can’t afford” to make industry accountable? The egos in authority won’t allow it.

  We “can’t afford” to regulate anything correctly? ditto.

  ( hint: to win a NASCAR race, you need the most-tightly-regulated/maximally-efficient/maximally-effective engine+drivetrain you can get. Sloppy LOSES races. Same with economies. Sloppy economies lose. Efficiently regulated economies can FAR outclass sloppy ones, whether communist, fascist, party-oligarchic or individual-oligarchic, monarchic, or any other ego-concentrates-wealth-to-itself paradigm.

  EU’s inefficiency is boggling.

  US’s corruption is boggling.

  Neither can compete with harnessed & maximally-efficient economy.

  Paywalling standards, as the ISO does, is anti-efficiency.

  Balkanizing tax-filing for for-profit-parasite’s benefit, harms the efficiency of the economy.

  You “can’t be loyal to 2 contradictory gods”, right?

  We have to make whole economy effectiveness be what our gov’t is for, NOT for wealth-concentration, which is their primary loyalty, & status/validity-segregation, which is what social-class-systems are made-of )

  Anyways, if you want to understand that deepest level, then www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/thinking-fast-and-slow is THE book to read.

  Lower-forebrain/“System-1”/imprinted-reaction is fighting to overthrow correct-reasoning/“System-2”/upper-forebrain from all authority, so then it can tantrum/pogrom & be no-moral-anxiety-LORD, with no responsibility for what it’s done.

  THAT is what’s ACTUALLY going on, globally.

  All the rest is more superficial, mere “makeup”.

  NO ideology will adapt to evidence, because they’re all axiom-based, not evidence-based.

  THAT is the lethal “drug” that humankind’s about to be self-exterminating with, for 6-decades.

  I expect 0.1B left alive, IF humankind succeeds in growing-up.

  IF humankind won’t, then DarwinAward for our entire species, this century.

  Surviving unconscious-mind’s obiteration-addiction IS HARD, as any dead-by-overdose life can attest.

  & ego-“LORDHOOD” is the most-indellible “drug”.

  The stuff that’s happening in any individual-locale, is just the appearances/distractions ON the underlying species-“puberty” we’re hitting.

  That isn’t the REAL current/transformation/difficulty…
