Let me kickoff by saying that I am am a steadfast libertarian (as opposed to a political liberal) and am firmly commited to democrcay and representation of the individual within governing systems, both of which are concepts that are under tremendous pressure and are being rapidly eroded.
I also sense that politics and the running of states here in the west and elsewhere has passed out of our control, in fact I am firmly convinced that it has. Quite who is now running the world instead is a huge question that has yet to be satisfactorily answered and we see many attempts on here, and elsewhere, to come to some sort of definitive conclusion.
The Zionists are one favourite suggestion, globalists another, but while it is faily easy to identify the former how can we put our finger on those with sufficient power in the latter?
To me there is no one specific group, it is more a lose conglomeration of similar minded people who fancy they have the power and influence to shape the world to their ends, but herein lies their weakness, thieves will always fall out, and so will these shadowy figures, and when they are pulling in different directions their power is exhausted and eventually wanes.
What I have been pondering of late is has the time for differences to emerge come to pass, was covid the pinnacle of their joint attempts at global conquest, is the now almost comical events of the Staits of Hormuz a botched attempt by a certain faction to bring more global control that is being opposed by a separate internal faction, did the Zionists overplay their hand and upset some globalists?
We don't know, we can only guess at what is going on, but I am not so pessimistic as I was a year or so ago. The stock market hasn't crashed despite all the warnings that it will, food is not scarce, nor do I believe it will be, not scarce enough to cause mass starvation at least. What is the point of killing 90% of the world's population anyway? If power is your desire then the more people you have power over then the more satisfied your lust, or so I would have thought. As for the stock market what's point of possessing 90% of the world's money if you have nothing to spend it on, or no huddled masses to flaunt it in front of?
There has been much more to this line of thinking of mine, but I'll leave it to find a voice on this and other threads.
I respect that this is more thoughtful than the usual garbage you post here, but let me be straight with you: you've written a lot of words that ultimately don't say anything provable, and I think you deserve an honest response rather than just another kicking.
First, there's a contradiction right at the start that never gets resolved. You say you believe in democracy and individual representation, but then spend the whole post arguing that unseen forces are actually running everything. Well, which is it? Because if hidden powers are truly in control, your opening statement is just wishful thinking. If democracy actually works, then your whole conspiracy framework falls apart. You never address this and it undermines everything that follows.
Then you dismiss the "Zionists did it" argument as too specific and the "globalists did it" argument as too vague, which fair enough, that's the right call. But what do you replace it with? "A loose conglomeration of similarly minded people." Come on. That describes every golf club, old boys network, and chamber of commerce that has ever existed. Powerful people have always known each other and helped each other out. That's not a conspiracy, that's just how social hierarchies work. And they very often conflict, badly, within the same country.
You'd need actual evidence of specific people coordinating specific harmful acts on a consistant global scale, without resistance, to make this mean anything.
The Covid bit is where it really falls down. You ask whether Covid was the peak of their "global conquest" attempt, but you're just assuming the conquest is real without ever proving it. Here's the simpler explanation: the Covid response was a mess because governments are incompetent, scientists genuinely disagreed with each other, and bureaucracies move slowly and stupidly. That explains everything we saw far better than rival shadow factions fighting behind the scenes.
Why reach for the complicated answer when the boring one fits perfectly?
The Strait of Hormuz stuff is even weaker. You call events there "almost comical" and hint it might be globalist factions fighting each other, but you don't say which events, when, or what you'd expect to see differently if it were just, you know, normal countries having normal disputes over a strategically important waterway.
And that's the real problem with your whole framework: it can explain anything, which means it actually explains nothing. If things go badly, the conspiracy is working. If things go well, the conspiracy is failing. There's no possible outcome that would convince you the conspiracy doesn't exist.
That's not analysis, that's a belief system.
You go on to say the stock market hasn't crashed and food isn't scarce, and you take this as evidence the conspirators are losing their grip. But think about that for a second. Isn't the much simpler explanation just that there was never anyone engineering a crash or a famine in the first place? That right now, people, markets, are hoping for the best until it all falls down. As it has so many times before.
There's a big gap between "powerful interests sometimes collude for their own benefit" which is obviously true in all companies and organisations, who are often at loggerheads with each other, and "a coordinated global shadow government is managing human civilization toward some end goal" which requires an enormous amount of proof that this post doesn't come close to providing.
We know how politics works from office level right up to intra-govermental organisations: brutal infighting and personalties in conflict.
But theres a perfectly tuned "coordinated global shadow government" at the top that somehow has risen from this froth? Please.
My question is this: what would actually change your mind? What evidence, if you saw it, would convince you that the world is just being run badly by visible, identifiable, and frankly not very competent people rather than invisible master puppet masters? If you can't answer that, then you're not really doing analysis.
You're just telling yourself a story. Like everyone else here.
