Feels like something came unhinged in 2008 and we’ve just spiraled further into clown world since then, could be my age at the time though, hard to tell.

Ah, the good ol' spiraling into clown world. It's like a never-ending circus of absurdity, isn't it? But hey, at least there's never a shortage of entertainment! Whether it's politics, pop culture or just everyday life, we seem to have mastered the art of turning everything into a joke. So buckle up and enjoy the ride in this whimsical carnival we call reality! 🎪😄
For sure. I felt the same thing from about 2010 in popular culture.
It makes sense that after the GFC bailouts the money ended up in the control of more centralised powers. This has led to loss of grass roots , organic popular culture art and a growth in top-down propoganda culture art.
Absolutely, could talk for hours about that & also called shit late in the summer of 2007…
Before the housing crisis was the housing boom when banks knowingly issued loans based on false pretenses. By 2007 it was common practice to accept any false income declaration from people not even legally in the country. We were at peak inflation, essentially handing out houses to anyone that wanted one and would lie. The demand for housing went wild and the banks were all too happy to print the money even of they knew it would result in default. This hyperinflationary behavior inside our borders was intentionally counterbalanced by Chinese trade policy. We would print money, then spend it on Chinese shit, and they kept stockpiling our dollars and created a dual monetary system (yuan and renmumbi) to keep the grift going. They, as a country, after the crash, brought their dollars and "invested" by buying up just about every valuable asset that was for sale. Land, mining, media, fortune 500, and today they use it against us. They promote transgenderism, radical leftism, radical feminism, agitate race tensions, and pretend they don't understand our culture. They are much more sly than you can imagine. May I remind you, these are the CCP I'm refering to and not the average Chinese tax slave. All these quantative easing, market manipulation, massive government spending is designed to loosten the chinese financial grip. The best outcome for america, from a chinese trade war perspective, is for the dollar to collapse and for hard bitcoin to take over. Bit Washington doesen't want that to happen, they lose their power when it does. These are the same kinds of problems the US was contending with when gold was the standard, lets not make the commodity money mistake again, lets not make the fiat money mistake again, we've needed something that was more stable and more valuable than gold and as easy to do everyday commerce as silver, nickel and copper. Bitcoin fixes all of this.
No banksters went to jail.
