*In a relatively free society, foreign powers through their proxies and frontwork get a say in our domestic affairs, in the form of military-grade psychological operations. These goal of these operations is to exploit human weakness for statecraft.

Who benefits from US cities looking like a zombie apocalypse? Domestic greed plays a part in an acute way, but on the whole it's competing totalitarian regimes that can point to the failures of these free societies and say that such models have failed to deliver prosperity for their people, giving the hostile power a lever to keep their own citizens content with their iron-fisted one-party rule.

Hollowing out our industrial base, social propaganda, political infiltration, drug distribution... these are all tactics of unrestricted warfare by rival powers. The US as a relatively free society is not inoculated against these 5GW attacks.

Nationalists who see this can only fight back against it by becoming more like the enemy, fascist, which foments even more domestic divide since it goes against cultural principles.

"He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster."

Nothing is random, EVERYTHING has meaning.*
