They are trying to make more American citizens become suicide bombers. That means more war, careers, and profits for them.

Understand crime and you can understand the nation. If you ever were close to the streets and saw "the game" at play, then you know it's all the same. Understand the real game they play, or you will be played out. Everything they taught you is to keep you submissive.

When I say you will be played... It's deep. Trump is a muppet being played out, people above him feed him king vibes to play him out. They manipulate his narcism for their profit. Elon and the young kids that are working doge are played out. There's stronger people than them understanding that they are people that can be used. Understand what it means to be a mob boss and then you can start being on the same page.

It's deeper than left and right. A lot deeper and if you aren't seeing the bigger picture then you aren't even on the same game board as them.

Edit: some odd replies to this post...

This reads like you have a giant black sign with white lettering and a megaphone at a game. I'm not saying you're right or wrong, but it's kind of vague and implying shit.

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Okay... That's okay.

You need to cite specific people, because right now, your post reads like the screed from an Alex Jones's rant. Vaguely gesturing towards some shadow organization isn't useful information, and it can lead to being manipulated by people who know how to weaponize that vaguery. You can't act against the unknown.

There's certainly bad actors at work, but they operate out in the open. Everybody who hovers in Trump's orbit, everybody who worked on P2025, the Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society, fundigelical churches, every billionaire...

If they currently have money or power (often both), they're almost definitely part of the current problem.

You mean people like Curtis Yarvin, Peter Thiel, white supremacist Stephen Miller, and the Project 2025 team, right?

Because people could read your post and think you were talking about Jews.

I re-read my post and nothing insinuates Jews at all.

...but yeah those people you listed are a lead. A starting point. ...But it probably goes far deeper.

[–] XLE@piefed.social 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

So the people you were actually referring to were...

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Anyone playing the game. From street drug dealers to authentic organized crime to marketers that think they are playing the American dream game and achieving the American dream while they manipulate lives... To politicians. It's a lifestyle... Anyone that actively lives that lifestyle. It's all the same force of evil. But when you learn to manipulate it you can find a path, the same way a person finds a legitimate career. No one is really playing by the rules and the rules are taught to keep you submissive to the actual game.

And you personally believe the people manipulating Trump have names like...

Familiar with The Churn from The Expanse novels?

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 4 points 5 days ago

No what is it?

Peter Thiel can eat shit. Fuck that guy
