The US Hegemony Juggernaut just keeps rolling over everything and anyone in its path, regardless of what anyone thinks or dares say. It's immune to all criticism. It hears nothing but its defenders in the DC swamp and their media sycophants. And by now the US media is all sycophants, except the sliver of critics in independent media such as Caitlin and a handful of others on the internet.
The war machine pays no attention to any of them, except to have them censored, shadow banned or otherwise silenced, which it's now doing with renewed vigor and determination, with billions of $$$ of funding coming from multiple quarters. It's the new, improved totalitarianism! Americans, except the usual few suspects, are not going to "wake up" to any of this. They aren't going to "rise up." They'd have already stopped the proxy war in Ukraine if they were inclined to awaken and arise. There are just too many new shows and sports extravaganzas to behold daily to devote time trying to stop the destroyers of everything that lives and breathes so they can maintain total power over all. There are just so many hours in a day, you know.
This is unfortunately very true. Sad that the whole world can burn down in full view while a bunch of airheads are concerned with the next episode of whatever (I don't have a name I don't watch TV) and meanwhile the fire outside their windows rages on!
Twice. What most people seem to miss about it is that it's not only about impending climate chaos and serial catastrophes, but also it's about the increasing probability of nuclear war, extinction of us all, end of civilization. Either one will wipe us out. Many are seeing that as a good thing. Oh, the irony.
The other irony is that it isn't the mouth-breathing MAGA set that is charging towards nuclear holocaust, but the self-styled Best And Brightest, the credentialed and highly educated, the Folks Who Believe The Science.
Most mouth-breathers don't have any real power, while the "best and brightest" believe power is best expressed by destroying everything standing in your way. Russia, China, Iran--they must be eliminated. And then we all die? So be it. Power has spoken.

Ever seen "Don't Look Up"!"?

Further evidence that they believe that they are entitled to rule as a matter of Divine Right.
