Cannibalistic? Suicidal? or both?
WTF!
The last five years have revealed nothing new, and yet everything, for the mask has been stripped off, the machinery exposed, and the way the country actually functions laid bare. A drunken, mesmerised population, who cannot see what’s right in front of them, is caught in the fog of propaganda. Theft, kidnapping, killings, and covert disappearances happen under the authority of federal agencies with cold efficiency and zero oversight, while the people in power do not flinch. When ICE shot a woman fleeing custody this week, when families were torn apart, the president said nothing; silence is the signal. Policy has replaced conscience. Kill, kidnap, steal, repeat. Public opinion is irrelevant. Meanwhile, the Epstein files, which should have shaken the pillars of the powerful, vanish into shadows, sealed, ignored, and protected by courts and procedure, while outrage is hijacked, twisted, weaponized, and fed back to a distracted, enraged, and polarized public. People scream at the wrong fights, yell over symbols, hashtags, and personalities, while the same architects of power continue to extract wealth, stack influence, and consolidate authority beyond scrutiny. Nothing changes except the facade, and the population keeps nodding along, staring at their screens, scrolling, consuming, performing outrage as if it were participation.
Both parties play the same rigged game. Different scripts on stage, identical operations behind the curtain. Surveillance spreads like a virus: 2023 NDAA expansions, warrantless domestic collection, facial recognition and predictive policing quietly rolled out, quietly enforced. Civil liberties have shrunk under every administration since 911. Corporate power consolidates: Amazon, Microsoft, Palantir supplying DoD and DHS with AI, cloud services, predictive algorithms, quietly approved, quietly profitable. Overseas, war continues without debate or accountability: drone strikes in Somalia, Syria, Yemen, CIA programs targeting civilians, U.S.-backed coups destabilizing countries, and sanctions starving populations. Domestically, kidnapping, mass deportations, cash seizures, militarized policing, policies sold as law and order, security, and efficiency. The public sees some headlines, but the machine moves regardless. Outcome unchanged.
Artificial intelligence has become the preacher on every corner, selling obedience and conformity instead of salvation. Lies, spin, propaganda, automated, scaled, endless, flood social media, news feeds, recommendation engines. TikTok, X, YouTube, and AI-generated content farms push narratives that shape elections, stock markets, public fear, and consumer behavior, all amplified algorithmically. Perception is manipulated. Attention is commodified. Repetition replaces truth. The public grows slower, dumber, and more docile by the day. Outrage is curated. Consent is engineered. Critical thought decays. This is not incidental. It’s designed. A distracted, divided, complicit society consumes spectacle while the same powers strip assets, kill civilians, and enforce policy with impunity, and most do not even notice because attention is a luxury most can no longer afford.
Leadership has no morality left. They lie, cheat, steal, flaunt it like badges. Trump’s asset freezes, Biden’s sanctions on Russia, NSA surveillance programs, drone campaigns in foreign countries, indefinite detention policies, and expanded DoD authority, all layers in the same tower of impunity. And the public follows—not out of belief, devotion, or consent—but exhaustion, distraction, habit. The pattern repeats: lawlessness framed as legitimacy. History offers no comfort. Rome called it order. Christendom called it salvation. Colonizers called it progress. The United States called its genocide manifest destiny, slavery the foundation of liberty. Weapons improve. Distance grows. Responsibility dissolves. Violence wears a mask and grins, and we look away.
The species survives by calling destruction care, theft a duty, and murder protocol. Every iteration convinces itself that it acts for the future. Every iteration tells itself it is better than the last. And the pattern continues, faster, cleaner, sharper, but unchanged. The public nods, scrolls, argues, consumes symbols, hashtags, partisan slogans, while the machinery of power extracts, burns, lies, consolidates, and reinforces itself. The moral collapse is structural, systematic, and continuous, and the question is no longer whether it will continue; it will. The question is whether anyone wakes up before the wreckage is total, whether anyone refuses to be a passive witness while theft, murder, surveillance, and the erasure of truth proceed with full impunity.
Consider the scale: ICE raids, deportations, and family separations happening alongside militarized policing in American cities; drone strikes killing civilians all over the Middle East while the press debates procedural nuance; sanctions starving populations while Congress debates technicalities of funding; corporate contracts enriching a handful of companies while the public squabbles over culture wars that they don't possess any real knowlege about, only embedded impressions form the media. Every level of the system reinforces every other. Artificial intelligence accelerates this, turning information into a weapon, attention into a tool, outrage into a spectacle. Meanwhile, history repeats itself, sanitized and reframed: the conquest of Rome, the violence of Christendom, colonial theft, slavery, and genocide all dressed in the language of order, civilization, or moral necessity. The machinery is older than the country, older than the empire, older than any generation alive today.
And yet the public participates. Not always consciously. Not always willingly. Exhaustion, distraction, indoctrination, habituation, call it what you will, it is complicity by default. Scandals flare and fade, files vanish, leaders lie, sanctions are imposed, wars are waged, and we are taught to consume outrage as if it were engagement. The system does not need belief; it needs exposure. And the public provides it without hesitation, swiping, scrolling, liking, arguing over sides, while the core of power operates uninterrupted. The moral collapse becomes naturalized, packaged as efficiency, necessity, or care, and the people adjust, accept, and perform consent.
Wake the fk up! Or ride shotgun while the inferno swells. The choice remains. The machinery does not pause. The theft, the murder, the lies, the erasure of truth, the degradation of cognition, they continue, they scale, they adapt, they optimize, and we watch, nod, scroll, argue, and consume. Every empire, every generation, every regime has justified the same acts. Rome called it order. Christendom salvation. Colonizers progress. Modern states security. Weapons improve, distance grows, responsibility dissolves. Violence smiles, and we look away. It is no accident. It is designed. The pattern repeats, faster, cleaner, more lethal, while the country convinces itself it is normal to watch and do nothing.
We nod, we scroll, we argue. We perform outrage while the machine consolidates, extracts, destroys, and lies. They call it progress. We call it normal. And history does not pause. The fire grows, the machinery never stops. The choice is ours, and ours alone: awaken and confront the pattern, or remain a passenger as the inferno swells around us, consuming everything in its path, calling that realism.
