17. I am thinking change is happening rapidly -- changes

without rational worldwide action. Look at climate change for one.

These problems, climate, insane wealth concentration, tech trashing jobs, more ...

These may be the drivers of immigration. People almost always attack the symptom rather than the cause.

Cannot be solved without coordinated wordlwide response. Nationalism both prevents response, and the worsening situation promotes nationalism.


Worldwide media love the turmoil and drive it. Probably bribed by dictators, the only beneficiaries of the madness. Hint: Putin and Murdoch.

Fascist playbook. Use turmoil. Provoke turmoil.
