“It's a funny feeling being taken under the wing of a dragon. It's warmer than you'd think.”
– Amsterdam Vallon, Gangs of New York
We all live under the wing of the dragon – the Western World. Never forget this. Our whole lives we learned about various countries hating the West. As children, we may have been confused by this. Yet the current world events are more plainly showcasing how wretched our systems truly are – especially to the eastern world. And it’s only a matter of time till they turn on us too. Let me explain:
Google defines globalization as: The word used to describe the growing interdependence of the world's economies, cultures, and populations, brought about by cross-border trade in goods and services, technology, and flows of investment, people, and information.
I believe this definition is articulating a secondary function or bi-product of the primary function/definition which I articulate as: The word used to describe the growing control, corruption, scapegoating and authoritarian influence by the UN, western political figureheads, billionaires and secret societies to undermine non-western countries, establish control of world resources, information and economies, to produce goods and services through slavery, to maintain power, to influence climate control and food supplies such as was established since the ending of World War II.
The most relevant examples of this today are: Nike, Apple (a list of a ton of other companies) using slave labor to produce their product in China and other eastern countries. Proxy wars by the USA and Russia. The CIA influencing and literally destroying political parties in over 100 countries over the last 60 years, both golf wars, big pharma withholding drugs to minimize effects of AIDS in Africa in the 80s and 90s, big pharma influencing the world to mandate (ONLY) a vaccine during COVID, Canada shipping oil and gas from Middle East instead of utilizing world-class technology and resources locally, the avoidance and discrediting of nuclear energy, the Vatican and the Pope, the war in Ukraine right now, and the list goes on and on and on and on.
Unfortunately, the best example of what’s been building over the last 60 years - right in our backyard - is the movie Elysium. Unfortunately, due to the effects of “globalization”, the “dragon” no longer lives in our backyard. It lives everywhere and nowhere. If only our future was as obvious as a flying man-made planet where the elite live… no it’s much more complex… and unattainable. It’s boardrooms, yachts, on private jets, homes, Zoom meetings, clubs, phones, and the list goes on. It’s not even just in the USA or other predominant Western cities… it’s everywhere and nowhere. One day, we will look back on Bastille Day and wish we could find the heads to sever…
“Useful Idiots” have been placed as figureheads in countries over the last 60 years blatantly by the CIA… not so blatantly by propaganda and corruption… (does this ring true for anyone living in Canada right now?) during the pandemic, most country’s governments took an authoritarian turn (for our own good? LOL) and we complied blindly because we thought these people had our interests in mind. But it’s sad and true to say, they don’t. It was all for the money and the control. – again, a nice “side effect” was our safety. But this was not the primary motivation (I’m not discrediting the pandemic – whatever the case, they had it war gamed, the funds were established decades ago, the protocol set up, they knew exactly what to do as a unified body of leaders).
They’ve given us privilege to become complacent, they’ve given us hedonistic lifestyles to keep us fat, happy, blind and deaf, they’ve utilized our labor and interests to make themselves rich and powerful. They are seeing the effects of potential culture collapse, food shortages, boarder control and immigration issues, climate change, over population, the death of the oceans, world-wide logistic issues, war, China and Russia rising in power and they’re busting a move to create a world-wide subduing.
The dragon is turning on us. The warm days under the wing are ending…

I think you a break from TV and the internet for a while, because what you're writing is basically the condensed fear mongering we see over and over again.
Do capitalist societies benefit the rich and wealthy? Sure. But on the flipside global wealth and living standards have risen in the past 50-60 years pretty much across the board. In some countries more, in some countries less, but generally overall it's much better to live now than 50-60 years ago despite whatever the fuck any conservative is going to tell you about the great 60s or whatever the fucking media blows out of proportion again.
Proxy wars have been a thing for the majority of human history. Like honestly I don't particularly care for the Ukraine war, I don't see the huge difference from all the other wars of the last 20 years other than that this time it's a communist power declaring war. I personally think very little of most global players, but the point with slave labor gets enabled because the Chinese gov is freaking horrible. After all why wouldn't you combine a fascist nationalist regime with socialist market control and extreme political repressions and supervision. I'm sure if you combine all the horrors of the 20th century the product is going to be much less catastrophic, everyone else just wasn't inhuman enough.
A lot of western countries are lifting Covid-regulations currently, so in that regard yes, most of them had majorly an interest in keeping the populace safe, if even to have a better shot in the next election.
Do I think that some of these are problematic? Sure. Do I think that they are the existential threats the media describes them as? Yeah no, these fucks need clicks.
Literally the only thing I really worry about that you listed is China's economic potential and there's still the slight hope that their social system collapses from the blowback of the one-child policy.

Legit read all of this and respect your ideas/opinions here. Yah the pieces to the puzzle are many and complex. And I think you're noting a few that I didn't in my tiny essay. Not sure how the "conservative" part correlates with what I'm writing about. I think for the most part, my post was neither conservatives or liberal as per a political twist or filter. Many of my friends on both sides of the political spectrum would agree with what I've written here - whether it's 100% of the story or 1% or anywhere in between.
Thanks again for that comment and taking the time to write it. I'll be reflecting on what you said.
