    It’s crazy how in the past 5 years my faith in not only American government, but pretty much all of humanity has gone to nearly zero.

    It’s like that “oh really” Willy Wonka meme.

      Not all humans, but most of humanity yeah

      I keep hoping we’ll get off this planet and seed others so people can stop bickering and shooting over land lines on the same rock, but it’s getting harder and harder to find people willing to work for the greater good (not that one) and move forward as a species.

      There’s been tons of anti-American propaganda social media for at least eight years. The CCP and Kremlin realized they could divide Americans from within through social media.

        I do agree to a point. But I also think America has organized crime issu s they hide. And that organized crime gets played out from other countries leaders.

        It’s not as simple as blaming Russia or America. It’s all so intertwined and knotted it’s almost impossible to fix. I definitely see relation between the way some Republicans strike that… Politicians and business men act that is in line with the way I’ve authentic crime take power. It’s fucked. There’s an underworld right under everyone’s noses but they just don’t want to believe humanity isn’t as secure as their governments make them believe.

        So a more pinpointed response… People are getting played by both Americans and Russians (and other countries) they use criminals and down trodden people to do their work. Same as the drug game. Get a sucker hooked on meth and make em your removed via extortion and death threats. Just looking at American politicians I can see them being so naive that they get played by criminals and they don’t even understand because they grew up posh and never knew how raw the world really is… Then they are doomed to be the removed of the mob or have their their family killed by the mob… For them they have to push the rhetoric or get themselves or their family killed.

        I’ve seen more street life than I should have… Live is fucked to the core.

        I’d like to think I’m just delusional… But life keeps proving me it’s reality.

        It’s all “the game” as rappers say… And most of us are naive to it while we work for them or just out right enslaved by them.
