It sure does look that way. Apparently it's all about "Build back better"
As this Twitter wag says it's a big club and we ain't in it.
Other questions we might ask the ruling classes would be
- How come the US election was stolen?
- How did this come to pass? How did things ever reach this extraordinary point in a "free" country?
- How come the Supreme Court did nothing at all about the multiple, documented injustices?
- What happened to Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell and other so-called Republicans?
- What happened to the mainstream media? And critical thinking? And honesty? And whatever anyone might think real patriotism might be?
- What happened to so much of tech-giant controlled social media, such that legitimate questions, posed in perfectly civil ways, were censored, and accounts removed, including the President himself?
- And even before all that, what was gradually, strategically, carefully, quietly taking place, in America and all over the world, such that Trump's removal from office by fair means or foul, was held to be a critical-path factor that absolutely had to happen?
Its rather like the metaphor of a Lifeboat, with a capacity insufficient to take everybody on board and as such, the goal is to compartmentalise the danger, whilst an orderly exit can be arranged.
So the argument goes we live in a global world and the changes are such, that the competition and tension has ratched up to levels that used to lead to war. So to keep the peace and maintain control, we needed to make sacrifices to lift the world out of poverty and Western Democracy has been unwilling to level with the people about those sacrifices and within that contradiction you had mad people like Trump scaring the system, that control is about to be lost.
1984 had a perpetual low level conflict to channel aggression away from revolution and the BNWorld used drugs. I would be surprised if we didn't have legal drugs within a few years and a return to the forever wars of the middle east.
