There is also an element of fascism at play.
In the broader scheme of things, what you're dealing with, not only on the global front, but also in places like this, are your average, cookie-cutter machiavellians.
Historically speaking, machiavellians tend to lose adulation or respect over time as the inauthenticity of their narratives/actions/agendas become more transparent. In that regard, I'm thinking about places like this.
In fact, that's likely the biggest reason I don't come around here, or around any other politically driven public platforms much any more myself. Who really wants to watch a transparent rerun of the same routine every day? Pft.
Besides...machiavellians will always demonstrate who they really are in time. Always. It's the nature of pride as well as a foolish, very naive sense of self-confidence.
From a global/geo-political perspective, the clear motivation is to elevate a regional war, and in that regard you've got the same machiavellian types at the geo-political level across the globe operating in synergy to accomplish that.
They, too, tend to lose favor over time, and for the same reasons mentioned above.
In some instance, I think that they do understand this. Which is why we see the level of comittment to mob-like warfare on opposing views in places like this in the same manner that we see the mainstream media run the same type of interference for the machiavellians at the global level.
