In the shadow of these corrupt entities, many are turning to community building, and I think that's a good idea. Those in power are not looking out for our best interests, so we have to look after each other. Luckily, we have lots of resources and examples to work from.

The full extent of the corruption and bribery is illustrated by a chart in Senator Murphy's video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hycoCYenXls

As illustrated in Pankaj Mishra's book "Age of Anger," fascism seems to be the logical end-point of western philosophic thought, leading through Italy to India's Modi, and the arrival of fascism in the US via the Spanish fascist Josemaría Escrivá, founder of Opus Dei which leads to the Federalist Society and Billy Barr's work to entrench a unitary presidency (in 45's term). This is spelled out in Craig Unger's book "American Kompromat." Most of history lies unread, and the unread lie about history. (that's my quote, no other source)

With a political system such as in the US - only TWO political parties...it should not come as much of a surprise that, eventually, a 'leader' such as Trump comes into our lives - upsetting every 'apple cart' that once stood on solid ground (?). Revolutions have changed many a country's fortunes...and I believe that the same will happen in the US once the 'under classes' painfully realize what their future has in store for them.

"In the Collective West there is an ongoing crisis of leadership..." Hard to disagree with that, so the question comes : where is there a leadership that one can use as a model, one that will bring peace and above truth and honesty? Is it with Dugin or Modi or Xi , Sisi or ????
