Somewhere along the way, the western world seems to have forgotten who is in power, who is pulling the strings of control when needed.

Pick your favorite nefarious cabal. Maybe these days it is the WEF, but I would guess it is far smaller group, and less obvious. It really doesn't matter much which group they are, or what they tell us to call them.

The group has been in power for quite some time, probably since the ends of the Roman Empire. They would have easily been able to sit back through the times of the British Empire. Some might argue Zionist roots.

The way they have maintained that level of control is by making sure everyone else didn't really know where to look or how to go about taking over. One of the tools to use is the Hegelian dialectic. I won't explain it here, but any time I see a clear message of divisiveness, something appearing to support an "us vs. them" mentality, I see that control structure. It's not hard to engineer. Mean girls in middle school can do a passable job of it.

us vs. them doesn't really help us or them. Under any serious inspection, it is when we cooperate and work together that both benefit. Whenever it seems like the world is heading in that direction, a new separation is tested. Race has been the nebulous factor in that separation plenty of times, in plenty of ways. Now we see gender and sexuality pushed on hard as being a separation.

As your uncle might say, you gotta keep 'em separated. They'll be too busy worrying about each other's power to see the powers that are in the background, quietly pulling the strings and gaining more wealth and power.

It takes a strong mind to ignore most of that, or at least accept it and move on. I can accept whites are being pitted against everyone else, and choose not to engage in that effort further. I have other more important things to worry about than the genetics of my neighbors, like providing for my children and making sure they have the best opportunity to succeed in this world, while teaching them what traps to avoid and helping them navigate around them.

We'll see how it works out. Got my popcorn.
