Agree. Speaking of where things are going, I was reading Peter Turchin today. Excerpt from: No Revolution without Counter-Revolution, by Peter Turchin https://substack.com/home/post/p-162797899 Any revolution is a struggle between the ruling elites and counter-elites. Once counter-elites gain power and attempt to build a new social order, the ci-devant (meaning former, or “have-been”) elites face a stark choice. They can accept defeat and acquiesce to downward social mobility, or they can turn into a sort of “counter-counter-elites” or, in more common terminology, counter-revolutionaries. Historical experience shows that there are always substantial segments of such erstwhile elites who chose to plot and fight.
