The Folly Of Invincible Elites​

Consequences are what humble us, what give us pause when we are about to make a rash mistake. Our losses teach us about the limits of humanity, and those who do not learn from the wisdom they impart are usually setting themselves up for an even bigger disaster. The liberal world order that rules the West has been so dominant for so long that our elites cannot imagine a scenario where there are serious and lasting consequences to the decisions they make. Cultural and economic hegemony have allowed Western leaders to impose incoherent policies of global governance while insulating themselves from any costs those policies might exact. This has granted our elites an illusion of inevitable victory which makes it impossible for them to change course, even when the disastrous results of those policies come crashing through the walls of their ivory tower.

This is why Western nations have been willing to outsource energy production to hostile nations like Russia, and then turn around and fight a proxy war with that provider over a client state like Ukraine.

Problem is, that if their failures ever result in real consequences, will they be able to pass the pain off to us?

The article describes what they have actually been doing for the last century, and if there is a real societal collapse, we, again, will have to pay for it - this time by living through a new dark age that will go on for generations.

They will be relatively OK.

They will be relatively OK.

History has shown us otherwise.

They will most definitely NOT be ok. Eventually even their own bought-and-paid-for security will go after them.
