I suppose you think that bonafide Intellectuals codify their thinking by assigning labels to their thinking..
Contrarian...I always make sure that I am on the far side of the flock away from the woods while grazing in the meadow. I do not want to be near those woods...
There are conspiracies, if you and some other fellow plan to rob a bank that is a conspiracy. But writ on a large scale NAW...there is no grand conspiratorial plan that controls your life (the THEY in your opinion as to why you are being screwed over).
What I have said is that the FED acts as the adult in the room to provide ongoing economic stability while the political process has become dysfunctional. The FED and other Central banks work in conjunction and in their own self interest to stabilize economies (that is their mandate and or job). The political process is dysfunctional when they keep spending money they don't have. The reason why the politicians keep spending the money is that the American people THEMSELVES are in denial of the fact that their life styles are too extravagant... no politician is going to cut their own throat.. Try cutting SS, Medicare, Federal, State and Local spending that provides contracts and jobs. Even if you are far from the trough of the public treasury you are getting a little taste of that honey. Every fking one of you.
The individual gets to continue living large while the society as a collective is being bled white (increasing debt)...You are paying the price collectively when you watch the news and argue among yourselves. All that consternation is the immediate price, increasing uncertainty, instability, chaos and fragmentation. Eventually there will be nothing left, even good faith and good will will be gone and then society/civilization will collapse (the individual will still be here, but will be faced and forced to have to deal with a whole new paradigm).... It is the human behavior pattern as evidenced by history...and thus a historical inevitability. It ain't different this time...
Hatred....Tiger is what Tiger is for better or worse. I have no dog in the hunt so in the scheme of things he does not matter to me... I just note the personality dynamic at work...an objective assessment as an observer. Which because it is not flattering you conflate into being hatred. Which says more about your own state of verisimilitude than anything else.
