    This flagrancy makes me hopeful. Why? Because Americans don’t abide aristocracy. We were founded in revolt against unaccountable power and wealth. We will not tolerate this barefaced takeover.

    This sentiment brought to you by literally nothing.

    Americans will believe what the media wants them to believe, and virtually all of it is now right-wing nonsense. They aristocracy will entrench their power by ensuring that Americans are distracted and do not vote in this own self-interest, and modern technologies make that system more sophisticated than ever.

    That’s not to say that the situation is stable - it’s not. America is a country in decline. Due to existing institutions, and a huge amount of wealth, things will move on momentum alone for a while. But the trend is downhill now.
