    So hear me out here with my massive tinfoil hat. I think the oligarchy is in the process of getting all their affairs in order so they can hide away in their various safe havens around the globe and then kick off nuclear war to wipe the rest of us out. All this inflation shit is just them sucking up the last bit of resources they can before taking off.

    Are there a lot of holes in this idea? Yes. Is it completely unreasonable to believe the richest human on earth would gladly kick off a nuclear Holocaust in order to eliminate most of humanity and the rule over what’s left? I personally don’t think so.

    So I think all this goading and poking is all just means to get Russia to be the ultimate bad guy so what little of humanity is left has a bad guy to point at. Again I know how insane this sounds but it’s like the only thing I can think of as to why so many countries are just being bat shit insane right now.

      They just want to sever ties between Russia and Germany + France and colonize Ukraine, if Russia breaks itself in reaction that’s a lovely bonus. The US will do everything to prevent Russia integrating into Europe, so Ukraine will take that fall for them.

      That’s honestly one of the most concrete conclusions I can come to right now. Adding Ukraine to the EU can be because of a few things:

      1. Symbol politics to tell your people ‘we tried’ when it eventually fails;
      2. They join, and then what? War and kill everyone? Do nothing and see what a joke the EU is?
      3. Have them join asap to prevent Russia from pushing further? Seems the most reasonable outcome for the EU.

      But I can absolutely see the elite of the world doing a speedrun any% on getting us all killed. But why? What’s left for them afterwards?

        Long term has never been one of their strong suits. Probably a “now we finally own everything and can divy up the remains.” I see a lot of these “people” being those neolib types that think the only way to save the earth is to kill most of the humans. Like how there’s legit people that think the Thanos snap thing was a good idea. Except in this case they are controlling who gets killed off. “All the poors.”

          I always ask the ecofascists who we should kill and, surprisingly, the answer always starts under the border of Spain and Italy and east of Poland for some reason

            Its not just Latin america, hardcore westerners hate all latins, Portuguese, Spanish and italians included. i dont know where or when this despise against latins in general was born in the west, i think it is just anglo and franco supremacy bullshit (although france also gets ridicularized a lot, and so do british anglos and Australians. Its like an toxic rich kids club with the US at the top, where they bully the poor kids, but from time to time the boss rich kid also makes fun of his own “friends” because they speak funny, or because they are not as rich as him, its an toxic relationship), america broke Europe brain.
