I'm not saying they're intentionally trying to shut down small businesses, trying to destroy the middle class, transfer the majority of the wealth to the world's largest corporations, and divide us with fear and hatred. But if they were, what would they be doing differently?..

I said something like this over a year ago in a meme.

less than half of all small businesses succeed. Many say this phrase flippantly, never asking why? Cuz of all the taxes and regulations. And of course it's even worse now.

This is a very wise question. I often ask "what's the end game desired" and most often it comes to money and power both are highly desired by the elite. Both avarice and destruction of whatever necessary are the tools used. Get in the way of the powerful = they will seek to destroy you and usually have the means to do so.

The delusion of this often strikes me.

Those obliterating the productive capacity of society are seemingly unconcerned that this productive capacity is the source of the wealth they enjoy.

There is a section of 1984 where Orwell points out that the Inner Party knows that they are preventing wealth creation, and that this is viewed as an acceptable loss. More important to them than wealth is power. Even if they create a society of misery and poverty, it's worth it to them as long as they exert absolute control over that society.

The insights he demonstrated with that book are shocking in their accuracy. The people at the top of our society want absolute control above any other thing. They are demonstrating it as I write this note and as you read it.

Power is one hell of a drug.
