It's like watching the NFL and getting hyped when a referee throws a penalty flag.

  1. It's entirely subjective (the ref can do whatever he wants, so long as the other refs agree).
  2. You had no influence in the decision.
  3. No influence in the outcome.
  4. Both teams are owned by the same people.
  5. And finally, this is all over a game which was made up, and is in the hands of other people.

And yet, you still get pissed off about the outcome. Why?

Power doesn't come from political theater. You are doing exactly as you are being told: "get upset over a symptom, ignore the disease".

Sure but the obvious result of what you and I both know would be (((illegal))) per (((18 USC § 373))) so the long, slow, seemingly counter-to-goals method we have is all that can currently be done. A breaking point needs to happen, I agree. This is the method.

This type of thing gets people mad at each other, not the elite. The breaking point will be civil unrest which is channeled towards self-destruction. It will not lead to a "revolution" against the elites.
