I've been saying it for months: we're heading toward a new 1989.
Not the fall of the Berlin Wall this time. The fall of the globalist project, and its fundamentally collectivist vision of humanity.
Remember the video Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum published in 2016, the "predictions for 2030." Prediction number one: "You'll own nothing. And you'll be happy." You'll own nothing, rent everything, and smile about it. They presented it as a desirable future. Marx summed up communism in a single sentence: the abolition of private property. The WEF just rewrote it with a delivery drone.
Their problem is that two forces are now tearing this project apart.
The first is AI. For the first time in history, a single individual can own a lever of production that used to require an army of employees, a bank, and a state. AI doesn't centralize capital. It hands it to the people who build. That is the exact opposite of "you'll own nothing."
The second is reality. Exploding debt, collapsing public services despite record taxes, rising insecurity, schools that no longer teach anything. You can lie about reality for decades. You can't stop it from arriving.
So here's what they're going to do now.
First, activate their networks. Soros's foundations, starting with Open Society, have spent years pouring money into NGOs, activist collectives, and "anti-repression" groups that form the ideological and logistical breeding ground of the crowds we're seeing today from Paris to Montreal. When the argument no longer works, all that's left is chaos.
Second, manipulate the youth. This is how communists have always taken power. Mao, speaking to Chinese students in 1957: "The world is yours. You young people are like the sun at eight or nine in the morning." Nine years later, he unleashed the Red Guards: high schoolers and university students who humiliated their teachers, denounced their parents, and burned books. And once they were no longer useful, he shipped some 17 million of them off to the countryside to be "re-educated." Youth is always the fuel of the revolution. Never its beneficiary.
Third, the globalist elites will do everything they can to keep the chaos going. Because a country in chaos demands more state, more control, more surveillance, more "governance." Chaos isn't a bug in their project. It's how it runs.
But either way, their project has only two possible endings. Neither one goes their way.
Ending one: political Islam. They think they can use it as an ally against the West, against the nation, against the family. They forgot Iran. In 1979, the Iranian left, led by the communists of the Tudeh Party, marched hand in hand with Khomeini to overthrow the Shah. Four years later, the party was banned, its leaders in prison, many of them executed. Islamism never lets itself be used by Marxism. It devours it. Your Marxist project will end up eaten by the very people you thought you were manipulating.
Ending two: economic collapse. Because let's say it plainly: the elites running this project are, on the whole, economically illiterate. Brilliant at storytelling, hopeless at incentives. Ludwig von Mises proved it back in 1920: without private property there are no prices, without prices there is no economic calculation, and without economic calculation there is only waste and shortage. Hayek drove the point home: no central planner can aggregate the dispersed knowledge of billions of people. Global collectivism can't work. Not because it's been badly implemented. Because it is structurally impossible.
The USSR learned that in 1989. They're about to learn it now.
The wall is already shifting.
@Averssem@Sspinaloga@LumpyLouish@BiteMeAnCap Okay, instead of “human nature” let’s say what it actually is- man’s sinful nature apart from God.
But I suspect that you deny the existence of an almighty creator, so that convo is a non-starter.
Humans can’t fix themselves by training. Only God fixes the heart.
@munni66724840@DawnsMission@FarmGirlCarrie I just politely decline. I have had exactly one mammo in my life, and plan to keep it that way.
Same with all the flu and c-19 pokes. Not happening!
@ArcadiaX1013@lovesshebaa@HeerJeet There are filial laws in Louisiana that do just that. It is means-adjusted and rarely enforced (not necessary often). But it is still legally required on both ends of the age spectrum.

@isleofpuffin@FischerKing64 Those of us who were paying attention were not shocked. I was listening to Neil Bortz at the time, and he called it.
Obama’s “hopey/ changey message motivated the discontented, and his racial base was gonna vote for him no matter what.
@Now_we_Revolt@Averssem@Sspinaloga@LumpyLouish@BiteMeAnCap No, I understand the nature of human beings. You’re the one who is believing a fantasy world where every person only has the “common good” in mind.
That can work in small communities for a limited time, but it has never succeeded at scale.
@jones77@Averssem@Sspinaloga@LumpyLouish@BiteMeAnCap I love the people in my life, everything else is just stuff.
You are nothing like me, know nothing about me, and I’m okay with that. You just decided to come on here and judge me.
Have a nice life.
@Averssem@Sspinaloga@LumpyLouish@BiteMeAnCap You just made my point for me.
Babies are not born inherently “good”, generous and kind. They learn to be so- or not.
We are all very different, which is why a society built around personal freedoms and responsibility for choices matters.
