The things you mention seem to me to be tools of this ‘something’. But, Liberal ideology is my guess.
Liberal politicians are synonymous in my book with graft, corruption and greed so that also means MONEY. These things above all else as long as it means personal wealth, power and control. And, they use these ‘excuses, memes, vehicles sub-cult ideas’ to perpetuate.
I am beginning to think there is one very serious defect in the human genome that a lot of these people have. We just haven’t nailed down the true science of it.
