Throughout history, the rise and fall of mighty civilizations has been dictated mostly by the exercise and projection of military power.

The majority of our population is kept busy/diverted by employing us at subsistence wages and relentless messaging meant to keep us squabbling among ourselves paid by monied elites to their media stenographers. We’re trapped in a Möbius strip of greed that is expanding in scale to include the whole world. Not sure what implosion will look like. Not pretty.
