Pitchforks and torches aren’t far off.

So one would hope, anyway.

They’re poorer as a result of the globalist psychopaths’ New World Order Great Reset.

Death to the New World Order.

Eric Hoffer once wrote that the very poor don’t revolt. They’ve always been poor, and know nothing else. It’s the middle classes that revolt, because they remember better times and resent having had them stolen away.

"I read an article," said one of the women tonelessly. "It said that times of trouble are good for us. It is good that people are growing poorer. To accept privations is a moral virtue."

"I suppose so," said another, without conviction.

"We must not worry. I heard a speech that said it is useless to worry or to blame anyone. Nobody can help what he does, that is the way things made him. There is nothing we can do about anything. We must learn to bear it."

"What's the use anyway? What is man's fate? Hasn't it always been to hope, but never to achieve? The wise man is the one who does not attempt to hope."

"That is the right attitude to take."

"I don't know... I don't know what is right anymore... How can we ever know?"

"Oh well, who is John Galt?"

Americans were just as foolish, gobbling up their "stimulus" checks like free money. Only it wasn't free. The bill has come due, and it recurs every time they go to the store.

Never gonna happen.

I lived there for almost a decade. They are engrained in “keep calm and carry on” in the populace. Particularly the older generation. If I heard someone say to me if I complained about something...”Oh, well, nevermind”...I wanted to crawl out of my skin!

The younger generations are brainwashed by the media and all they seem concerned about is going on “hols” and getting drunk and ...well...you know.

I have never experienced a more ignorant culture. And I knew we were about 10 years behind.

That is a really brilliant connection of those two things. I’m keeping that.

Thanks for the sad report from the ground.

I’m amazed that the Kiwees and Aussies put up with their country’s fascism during COVID. Ditto Canaduh, GB and sadly the USA.

The checks should have been for $1M each. We would all be millionaires and have wiped out poverty. Our money would even let us stay in a hotel on Boardwalk.
