    No. But I definitely do not believe America is NOT behind this. They just weasel out scapegoats to blame like the Mafia.

    Also check out 5th generation warfare if you haven’t looked into it before.

      That makes it sound like you see “America” as a monolith, which it absolutely isn’t.

      I don’t think that divisions by national border are really at the heart of the issue at all. Rather, it’s the division between the rich and powerful and everyone else, as well as divisions within the rich and powerful.

      I am against all of the rich and powerful, personally. I think that they should be equal to the rest of us. But there is certainly an element of them trying to undermine each other in this. Some of the rich and powerful of other countries rightfully see MAGA as bad for America (including the elites) and therefore see it as a way to get a leg up over their competitors.

      Some of the rich and powerful in the US think that MAGA will be good for them, so they support it. Many of the others don’t want to support it, but they also are strongly opposed to any real counter to MAGA.

        I see Americans as naive and stupid. I see modern politics as something essentially nationless. Rounding up cattle (Americans left or right) to be used.

          I see Americans as naive and stupid.

          Oh look, there’s that monolith they’re talking about. You see the entire country of 330,000,000+ as all being of one hive mind, carbon copies of one original, with no distinction for race, religion, creed, or self identity.

          You effectively see all Americans as the Borg, who for all their faults, are not.

          I agree with the second statement. Modern politics is essentially nationless.

          So, why are you singling out Americans as a group and painting them all with a stereotype?
