I live in a European country with double digit inflation and crippling energy prices so we might be further along than the US in the "people must be shown" phase. Everyone is pissed and the first protests about cost of living are happening.
Now, suddenly, the front page of the dirtiest cabal rag is full of hit-pieces about government corruption. Taking bribes, paying for private companies or apartments with public money, being assigned to high positions of power with no prior experience or proper procedures, journalists taking orders from the government, it's all coming out like a torrent. Every time they try to justify themselves, another hit-piece arrives, exposing more corruption.
Meanwhile the government is saying ridiculous things like we should shut down large companies to save power and being laughed out of the room. I'm sure this is only the beginning but their narratives are dying and pain is coming. I expect much of the same in the US soon.
That may be their intent but I think the people protesting about government corruption would more likely reject even more government control over them via a "One World Government". They are protesting because they want their governments to address their needs and concerns and their governments are ignoring their pleas. I see it more as MSM trying to get ahead of the fall of the governments so they can have a future after the fall. Willing to admit if I'm wrong.
