The western world is mired in a mile-deep political crisis and nary a soul seems to notice, or rather: everyone just sees their own little preferred echochamber tidbits of it. Which is not a good thing, because that crisis is bound to trigger other bigger crises that are much more damaging. And I\u2019m sorry to say it, but Donald Trump is not your main problem. Not even close.<\/p>\n

The main problem is the collapse of western political systems. While that is what brought Trump to power in the first place, he didn\u2019t cause the collapse. The collapse is also what \u2018gave you\u2019 Brexit, and Trump didn\u2019t cause that either. Moreover, in the next step, on the far end of all this, Trump may well be the only thing standing between you and CIA warfare. I know, who wants to hear that, right?! Who\u2019s ready for that next step?<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not that crazy. Trump was the one who stopped the CIA from arming Syrian \u2018rebels\u2019, which are just a bunch of extremists gathered by that same CIA in its attempts to unseat Assad, and who Trump saw laughingly beheading a child. And who was it that had previously, and enthusiastically, decided to support these crazies? The US Republican and Democratic parties, in unison, while Obama was president and Hillary slash Joe Biden was Secretary of State. Remember the Chelsea Manning footage of videogame-like drone killings? What did Obama do about that?<\/p>\n

Still, that\u2019s not where the core of the demise of our political systems lies. Though it does gave us a flavor of their priorities. The core can be found in economic issues. In both president Bush II and president Obama bailing out banks while letting people\u2019s incomes and wealth tank, and not sueing any banker for anything at all. Obviously, the same scenario played out in Britain as well. And in many other nations.<\/p>\n
