I think our billionaire overlords and their political serfs know what they're doing. [View all]

They know the earth cannot sustain the human masses that feed on it now or in the future; the breaking point is imminent.
They know humans cannot control greed.
They know humans are gullible.
They know that human caused climate change is unstoppable and its breaking point is imminent because existing industry and ecology are incompatible.
They know that pathogenic environs are ripe for expansion.
They know the industrial complexes of the world are beyond control at all levels.
They know that nations are made and ultimately exist due to war, therefore, there is no will or desire to stop war or dissolve nation states, only the imperative to orchestrate them.
They know humans live in packs; the clan must survive, conquer and destroy all competition, all foreign entities.
They know that empathy, compassion and unity are relatively new to the human species and if unchecked and unfocused, become disruptive to control mechanisms.
They know that the masses are pacified by fantasy, demigods and false hope combined with pain.
Whether their schemes are by design, by circumstance or blind stupidity, they know they must survive, and to them the ends justify the means.

I have no compunction about walking into a destiny I can't change, but I won't go there without a fight or without screaming foul until I can no longer scream.
