Have you ever checked out that generational dynamics website or the Fourth Turning stuff? Do you think it's a bunch of hooey, that there is an inevitability for war and change, specifically crisis wars (as GD states), and that irrational behaviors in fact take over, forget the seeming stupidity of losing a position or foothold by the big boys who currently run things?
I have not checked that site. What's its name?
The truth is the world has been at war since Cain murdered Abel, instigated by jealousy and disobedience to God. So, there's that.
So, the point that the 'big boys' may become blinded by greed sometimes and make a stupid move; yes, it's totally possible. Their prince effed up pretty badly back then, so even an angel can turn bad. In fact anyone who disobeys God can become wicked in no time, granted in smaller ways than the chieftains and warlords do but still bad. The difference is the 'big cats' choose their enemies more carefully, like the typical bully in class who would poach for the weaker kids and leave the stronger ones alone.
So we are at war right now, in the way I see it anyway, the enemy of the state is members of the public who won't go along with whatever they've decided we've got to go along with. It might be a jab, it might be being shipped to a faraway land to shoot random civilians, or a battlefield against guys like yourself who don't know what on earth they're doing there.
The only constant is that the ones getting killed always come from the cannon fodder that we are according to the elites.
In the past kings we at the battlefield themselves leading the charge in many occasions, yet I don't think we'll see Boris or Biden, not even a general anywhere near the battlefront, however they are the ones remembered as heroes, like Churchill...Big F to that.
I went off topic a little but my thoughts race when I think about all this.
