I think the true dysfunction behind the Biden regime is the fact that multiple factions are actually in active conflict at the same time in his administration. As bad as Obama is, if he we actually the sole puppet master things would not be as bad as they are. For example I don't think despite his radical social and economic agenda Obama wasn't actually all that interested in regime change. That is the Clintonista faction who are the neo-cons obsessed with going to war with Russia. I think you also have the Biden crime family who are using sleepy Joe to their advantage and I think you also have some of the staffers who are a new generation of left wing radicals also pushing things that not even Obama or Clinton would be insane enough to try.
Is it even intentional? in a dying empire power becomes extremely centralised in the state and a handful of supra-national organisations and corporations. The battles over this power and the wealth and patronage it affords as well as the risks of losing power make the stakes extremely high. I'm not surprised you have several factions fighting each other and what seems to be different factions of the elites striking at each other - Elon buying twatter, the war in Ukraine. etc
What would be more worrying in my opinion is a single faction rising to dominant power. For example during Obamas regime there was obviously a degree of internal conflict between the Clinton and Obama factions. Likewise during Trumps administration it seemed to me there was a bit of a disconnect between the Jewish lobby represented by Kushner and Trumps own populist tendencies and the fact he was willing to listen to Tucker Carlson and step back from bombing Iran. In the Bush regime things in Iraq got so bad that Bush had to get rid of Donald Rumsfeld and bring in Bob Gates and Patreus to try and do something about the chaos in Iraq and it seemed to me that war with Iran had been scheduled for 2007 but between the worsening fortunes in Iraq that enough people were able to say "No". Just in my time being politically aware it seems to be that the elites have lost their decorum and become more chaotic. Whatever democrat regime takes power in 2024 I think it may be even worse. I remember hearing stories about South Vietnam and how despite the war raging every now and again there would be a political crisis in Saigon and most of the ARVN would abandon their positions and go back to the capital to face off or fight about which general would get to be in charge. You remember the downfall of Rome - how they had the year of the 4 emperors and at various points the empire was divided between 2 or 3 different emperors.
No one in the elite are /our guys/ but the more they fight each other the more they generate space for human freedom for the proles.
Rome indeed was mired in civil war. Interestingly, the same was true of Byzanthium. its power waned due to internal struggle.
one thought I got when going over this history: The Western empire (Rome) spread all the way west up to America. Byzanthium spread east ward, Moskou and in a way Middle-East.
2 blocks ....Many faction battling it out for the imperial crown
I would totally agree with her for just one minor point ..... Biden could not operate without Obama in the basement ....
And Lizard Cheney ...

You are pointing to a very interesting phenomenon. DS deploying several strains and watches who survives the social Darwinian contest. ...

Wow ... good points!
