Indeed, indeed...

Until 2008 I had only ever tried to be a productive member of society... I skipped college to invent things, started three business, employed 30 people in the US and another 100+ in China.
But then with that crash, I realized something had changed and I took it upon myself to learn how the world really works, because I sensed that my survival suddenly depended on it. After stewing on material like 0H, Atlas Shrugged, Chris Martenson, and /r/collapse for a year... I packed up, left CA, sold my nice house for a staggering loss, moved to the woods of Appalachia, and put in solar/garden/chickens.
I watch this shit going down now and it doesn't shock me any more. I watch how people respond with flags waving, and I understand it all now. I see it all coming... not the specifics per se but the overall endgame is clear to me and all I do now is hug my kids tight and nuke some popcorn.

Until 2008 most people didn't know or question how the world worked...
Since then with help of internet, youtube, zerohedge, laid off ex-bankers, etc. helped world become smarter...

• politicians lie to masses in order to achieve favor for the richest of the rich who can afford lobbysts
• USA is not capitalistic and government still controls the economy and commerce
• USA is an empire
• USA is no longer #1
• Money is #1
• Power is #2
• Elites are just extremely skilled at keeping the delusion of the meritocracy going and being lucky
• cops are there to protect property of elites
• universities are there to protect intellectual property of elites
• USA is not a democracy...nor a republic...nor special....just a country lucky with plenty of natural resources and few people.
