So this anonymous person (seriously: do a whois on the domain) posts a list of vague conspiracies and ... we're supposed to do what? Tremble? Change?

How is this on Hacker News?

"Technology and globalization radically expanded the pie, but they also shrank the number of people who got the big pieces."

All this talk of US income and wealth inequality... First of all, global inequality is falling. This is indisputable! Secondarily, the pie should be measured in actual consumption, not in income or wealth. Look at what Mark Zuckerberg consumes, not what he earns!

Well, of course the war is coming. The reasons are purely economical. When there are too many hands and too few jobs, war is inevitable. There are no unemployed at war, and after the war too, when those survived gather to rebuild their homelands.

Political implementations may vary, but the world is driven by economy.

Says nothing about Clintons being immune to prosecution though.

While the nationalism wave is terrifying, telling people that war is coming only speeds up the wave.

Because of the domain name. And if that's not enough, look at the username.

War has always been here. Some just choose to not look at it.

You and I know that in absolute terms people are better off now than they were 30 years ago. But, that's simply not how regular people view the world. Their evaluations are relative. They will always be relative.
