It feels like topics I used to only see on r/conspiracy—like Epstein and the deep state—are now all over mainstream subreddits.

The US is doing what it always has done, only now the pretexts are weaker than ever. Did things really have to get this obvious before people finally realized that western governments only care about what’s best for the oligarchy?

    Yes-- there is no oligarchy in China and North Korea. Oligarchs on China are kept on a tight leash and will be killed for a getting out of line.

    North Korea probably has no oligarchs as such

    Compare to South Korea, which has a famously corrupt governance at all levels, with policies directly influenced by the chaebols (family-owned conglomerates, whose assets were originally awarded by the US for their willing collaboration with Japanese colonizers)
