RE: What I see happening is Authoritarianism
no ONE controls the country.
The Iron Rule explains what is happening adequately.
thousands of beureacracies competing with each other for a bigger and bigger'piece of the pie' (budget) , like piglets at a feed trough. They could give a damn less what happens to anyone or anything else as long as they get their slop.
Essentially true. When I speak of Presidents I assume but neglected to say that they are simply tools of the oppressors. Those are faceless, unelected, unnoticed until they step on your neck.
But I believe that the "dark state" is being directed by deeper oligarchs who also direct corporations and media. Not overtly, but by gradual trends. No need for conspiracy, they just individually do what is in their best interests over generations, and that is to have us inconspicuously gelded and controlled.
Our current situation is little different than baronial feudalism, where all worked for the landowners and young men were sent out to kill each other (or strangers) occasionally, to prevent uprisings at home.
the effect is the same..but there is no intent. There ARE no deeper oligarchs...there is only insanity. Which brings me to the way I view the world. There is no ONE responsible. The fact of the matter is that each and EVERY time that Dunbar's number is exceeded that group begins to act according to the Iron Rule. They begin to act irrationally from an individual's point of view. They go nukin futz. The goals of the group are NOT the goals of the individual...in fact they are incomprehensible. Large groups are insane. (from our point of view) . For evidence to support that hypotheses...watch TV or read the news. Would sane people act that way?
