So true. The superstition of statism always lead to violence because the more uncertain we are of our safety and security ( the 2 reason most people cite as to why we need the state) the more we give it our power. As we grow weak it becomes strong. Like all other complex systems it seeks to empower itself, so the natural trajectory is towards war, and famine.

This doesn't even have to mean the actors in such a system are consciously leaning into these realities They just have to be willing to do their small compartmentalize part in exchange for more personal power themselves.

Excellent point here about the compartmentalized actors not consciously leaning into these realities. Indeed, this octopus has many tentacles, and only a select few are aware of the master plan.

This trajectory is predictable to those of us who can see beyond the spectacle. If only we could convince more people to train their minds to stretch beyond what’s merely on the surface of absolutely everything.
