        Well, getting into a war which reveals its hard power as being much less than the image most had of it before and which pisses of its allies, all of this eating away its soft power, it is a pretty traditional thing in the collapse stage of empires.

          it really goes to show that capitalism hasn’t broken the cycle since it shares the same fatal patterns as the empires that collapsed before it.

      Market manipulation and unprecedented levels of historical grift? Oh and sucking Israeli dick, that’s a big one.

      I think we just like the feel of the pain and we relish in the devastation of loss. There’s no other explanation.
