The West is its own enemy. Not only are our oligarchs against us, they are dimwitted and don’t plan ahead for anything but earnings reports.

Runaway Capitalism western civilization started at the end of the Vietnam War in America. The MIC went private and every motivation was for Wall Street means and shareholders, etc. Who were the ones that created the biggest demands of the drug trade and America made a new war for itself against itself to feed itself. The War on Drugs.

Now we are nearing the collapse. Trump is the cumulative representation of America. America is Trump. MIT predicted this civilization's decline at around 2040. And it looks like that should be the approximate set date for WW3 also given the current trends and shift in global super powers.

Unregulated capitalism (and probably all power systems) self-selects for mental illness. Not only do they not plan for long-term, the people running a lot of these companies are not capable of it.

It's telling that if someone powerful like a politician actually does their job, they're hailed by the general public as a hero.
