I'm so glad history's first trillionaire (a thing that should never exist anyway) is not only capable of accelerating our demise on a mass scale through his companies, but is also, apparently, a Nazi sympathizer.
You couldn't write fiction that would be this fucked up.
I love it when the military stages nighttime, live fire, urban assault drills in the middle of a major metropolitan areas near residences without any warning.
Surely this is in no way meant to intimidate their fellow citizens...
I love it when a sheriff's office wrongfully accuses someone of a crime, ruins their life, and then out of desperation they take the county clerk's office hostage more than a decade later, and then just have the federal government execute him on the spot.
Problem solved I guess.
Sometimes history turns on a frustrated outburst from someone who just can't handle that they actually have very little control over their life, and thus become a paradox.
Games and gaming are attractive because they let you pretend you have agency in a world that does not exist, rather than pretending that our world offers us any actual agency.

Just a thought, but maybe the reason so many turn to substances and seemingly random violent outbursts is out of desperation at the intrinsic emptiness of modern life, how everything is a lie, and how we are hurtling towards disaster though very few would admit that publicly.
Why is it NOT a government's responsibility to create/provide stable housing for its citizens?
When did we decide this was a function best performed by a free market whose motivation is PURELY profit?
