1. national and local leadership missing due to rejection of meritocracy enabled by culpable MSM staffed mostly by cretins who rose out of an education system that glorifies cretinhood

2. the domain's tax dollars mostly spent on items having little to do w/ common prosperity greater good peaceful pursuits

3. accumulated neglect of social, education, infrastructure, and mental cohesion over the eons allowed to be sustained through coke-n-pepsi one-dollar-one-vote protocol sooner or later begin to exhibit deep rot, hidden fissure, and must-tear-down-n-rebuild issues

4. as the spiralling-down accelerates, the same set up must come to grips w/ how to rebuild better and who to be volunteered for paying the unsayable tab

5. lacking further greenfield conquest, and bankrupt of external options, the system turns inward, and the primarily two but actually many blocks try to sort / hash it out, but given the deep grievances and need to vindictive votes, cheered by the same MSM that helped to sustain the unsustainable earlier, dialogues stop and shouting takes over

(1) 'they' stole our jobs (by working more diligently with focus, and reinvested in themselves to do better still)

(2) 'they' are authoritarian (and it is our business to tell them so, because we are not authoritarian)

(3) 'they' do not trade fair (but we like to buy with paper dollars, and sanction w/ same paper dollars)

(4) 'they' whatever, whenever, however, wherever (and, in various ways we do the very same, but we have a spinning MSM that do not point out the idiocy of our ways)

etc etc etc

(5) therefore 'we' must try best to trip them up, deny them stuff and knowledge and recognition (because it is our business to do so, to improve the world even as we fall apart)
