WTF happened? How did the world’s biggest economy, by far, and most industrialised nation, let this happen? Greed? Power? Complacency? But wtaf ?
US post-industrialism = financialism + post-modernism.
Compare the US today with Israel and what you see is night and day. A "special" relationship, in which one party has gained enormous benefit, while the other party finds itself in the gutter. One tribe serves it's own interests, while the other does not.
Israel is the apex predator in a world that never ceased to be a jungle. It understands survival, while the Western World has become soft, degenerate, and philosophically illiterate -- all of which is embraced by modern liberalism, as though survival of the fittest never applied to homo sapiens sapiens. An intellectual Trojan Horse, IMO, and militarily brilliant.
The Art of War is the Art of Politics: what applies to terrain can easily be applied to demographics. This is how world historical figures think, whereas the common folk barely think at all because they do not understand how knowledge is acquired.
