> Again, it's not that they aren't willing to cause ww3 to keep their power. They want to. I think you confuse *need* for *want*. Sure they're a bunch of psychopaths in suits, and mass murderers, but their most pressing problem is they are running out of time. The biggest problem they have is they don't have a tight grip on information anymore. Their grip is actually weakening. You can see it with people leaving facebook. You can see it with the barrier to entry dropping year by year. You can see it with the amount of people that propaganda doesn't work on anymore. The longer things go on as they are, the greater the risk the state loses the ability to control the narrative at all. And so, beyond any other concern, this is the biggest challenge, and threat to them. When smoke and mirrors don't work, they resort to force. And thats exactly what they are gearing up to do.
