..”it’s this weird culturally cohesive environment where everyone seems to get along - at least in a general sense”...

They have been brainwashed for decades on the likes of “We Are the World We are the Children” drumbeat the Elites have shoved down their throats. And like Children they follow easily....

The poorer nations know if they jump on board the cash will flow to their nation in time. That’s why their leaders are fully on board the Climate Change mumbo jumbo. And African nations are first in line!

Perhaps the one question I ask myself on a daily basis about the destruction of western civ - either here or abroad - is "what's the benefit"? The first and most obvious answer is that anyone who owns real estate has experienced a transformative wealth effect. Whether London, Paris, LA, SF, and other global hot spots, middle-class professionals (financially) experience lifestyles only previously enjoyed by the elite.

But when does the piper get paid? How long can economically advanced societies continue to absorb sub-optimal defects? And this is where I think science may actually come to the rescue. If you check some of my posts, I comment now and then on the progress being made in genetic science. With applied gene therapies, they may be a real chance to raise collective IQ levels.

Now, imagine for a moment if the base line among certain intellectually "disadvantaged" groups could be raised by just one standard deviation. In one fell swoop, dangerous religious dogma would cease to pose a threat and rationality became more predominant. So political appeals for financial support and wealth transference; suddenly, everyone would be equally able to function and operate independently.

To answer my own question above, when I'm feeling generous & optimistic, I sometimes wonder if that's ultimate hope. So, rather than a nefarious power & control game, there's really this sublime expectation that society will eventually transcend its tribal roots and gain new levels of understanding and cooperation. I know for certain that various proglibs are definitely down with this program. If you feel this way, then Trump definitely represents a retro-grade threat to peace & harmony.

I say, it doesn't actually matter who wins, we'll all gravitate to a universal mean anyways. So, the prosecution of the conspirators is really about principle and the rule of law. I'd rather have patriots in control of the (free market) convergence process, rather than social engineers forcing it on everyone.
