CTH: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson resigned. Days later, former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated. A few days passed and both the President and Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, resigned and fled the country. Today, with their ruling governments in a state of turmoil, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi have both tendered their resignations.
The collapse of each of these national leaders is not necessarily connected; however, the global political system is reverberating with tremors directly connected to the post-pandemic economic turmoil. It would be naïve not to see these governing issues as consequences. The legitimacy of the governing class is slipping; perhaps it would be fair to say, some have ‘lost’ their legitimacy altogether. more here
Come on, Biden ! It’s your turn .
In Europe the resignations and all don’t mean a thing to the governing of the nation states. The new leaders are selected from the pool of existing persons deemed adequate by the current leaders and the directors of the group that is in fact the pool. No change there, maybe cosmetic, but no change in fundamentals of government rolling over the people in a destructive wave of virtue signaling on all significant subjects.
Canada and Australia are in the same situation. In the US, prior to the 2020 election, we might have been able to say our circumstance is better. We did elect Trump in 2016 against the will of our masters. However, in 2020 they were ready and we got the dementia patient to rub our noses in our impertinence. Thanks, by the way, it is being well and thoroughly rubbed, very unpleasant. At this point no voting is going to change our government any more than any European will be so changed.
To make any change we need a grass roots, wide spread tax revolt of substantial duration with a statement of demands at the head. The elites will understand nothing until it causes personal pain, they are not of our temporal world, they must be made to feel real individual pain if we are to get any modification in the unicorns and fairy dust plus racism and authoritarianism they are offering at this time.
Ok, I’m officially curious at the coincidence.
