Hopefully you've realized by now that everything is being done on purpose. If you're still under the impression that they're stupid - that they don't understand the damage their policies are causing - then you need to get that thought out of your head right now.

They're trying to make things worse, but not for the reasons you think.

There are two teams of elites, and they're at war with each other.

The older, more understood group is exactly who you think it is - the oil barons, bankers, royals, wall street insiders, and the rest.

The other team isn't as well known. It's a lot of the silicon valley types, but it's also regular people, professors, and underground revolutionaries.

The old group uses the government as a weapon. Always has. The new group uses the citizens as the weapon. Their goal is goad the people into overthrowing the government. To achieve this goal, they've quietly positioned people that are in their control into elected office. Those people are passing the worst legislation possible, so that when the people get fed up enough, they'll lose faith in democracy completely and overthrow the government.

All of you "free thinkers" that think you're seeing things clearly are duped. You're doing exactly what they want you to do.
