>I thought they were super-competent, highly intelligent, and firmly in control of events. Seeing all of this makes me realize its mostly how wrong I was. Their methods have been threats, and blackmail, crude legal wrangling and heaps of coercion. All held together by little more than inertia and public tolerance. This whole its been a bunch of semi-competent morons performing a juggling act with hand grenades while barely managing not to pull the pins.
One of my history teachers used to say "It's easy to be smart when you're powerful", speaking of the US. Same deal here with those people. They think of themselves as superior because of the financial and political firepower at their disposal, but in reality they suck at what they do best. I mean we're talking about people shooting fishes in a barrel with a 30mm gatling canon, giving each other a tap in the back as if they were highly skilled badass hunter warriors or some shit. But the reality is that with their 30mm canon, they don't even have to shoot at the barrel to kill the fishes, shooting right next to it is just as good, same end result all fishes are dead. And they don't even maintain their gun, somebody else do that for them, even the gun is deployed and aimed at the barrel for them, by somebody else, they just press a button that's what they do, and they take all the credit for it
Now you give them a shitty .22 carbine they aren't going hit anything, because they suck at shooting, they barely have any skill when it comes to it
They are a bunch of heavy weight thugs, priding themselves over a victory against yet another kindergarten, they can't compete in their own weight category without getting their ass handed to them, they always have and had to deal with much weaker adversaries, and even then they managed to lose in some instances...
So yeah, they want people to believe in their power, they want people to believe that they are extremely competent and almost invicible and always right...
But everyday reality, despite the narrative control efforts, shows otherwise...
