I grew up reading conspiracy theories, then met powerful people and realized (20 years ago) that conspiracy theories were implausible.

Then I worked with the IC and heard what intelligence agents said. Maybe they lied. Maybe they’re crazy. But combined with what happened in the last 18 months, and their statements, there is an acutely centralizer corrupt power which has ever bigger rings of corruption.

Which is normalized as it goes. Everyone does it! Politics as normal. Modern Neoliberalism and government revolving door.
