I’ve accepted the fact that we’re now under an illegitimate tyranny. I take solace in the fact that it is unsustainable and will collapse upon itself, and those who depend on it the most will face the consequences of their sloth.

Yep - I really don't understand all this gnashing of teeth & hand wringing. That which is unsustainable inevitably ends - usually with a resounding crash. You can reference the 2nd law of thermodynamics (the impossibility of perpetual motion) ie work must be performed or entropy ensues.

Or, alternatively exponential math (doubling periods) ie compound principal+interest on debt always outruns productivity & income. Btw, it must be this way because interest rates are always set higher than growth - if not, bankers would be on the losing side of the equation eg their investments (loans receivable) would diminish in value. They've been at this for over 5,000 years, so they're pretty familiar with the routine.

Let's grant the premise: the election was stolen. Does that make anyone feel better? You're telling me something of this magnitude was achieved? What does that tell you about the state of the union and how deep the corruption now runs? You really wanna know the answer?

Nah, the answer is elementary - no one works if they don't have to. Mortgage the accumulated wealth of a nation for a few generations on the credit card garners a lot of votes. For those elected, it's a pretty fun gig - mistresses/hookers, parties, insider trading, build up a nice nest egg, etc.

This baby is toast, so all we have to do is sit back and wait for its demise. That will be when it's time to act.

The problem with what you said, is that it is probably true. Entropy is an agonizingly inevitable concept....
