 >THIS IS NOT GOING TO GO AWAY

that's not the key.

let's compare with a historical precedent: the fall of the soviet union.
2/
 the fall of the soviet union - theories abound:
- it was bankrupted by Star Wars
- it became too corrupt & incompetent to go on
- the people woke up and threw off the yoke of tyranny

bollocks.
it was the elites. Image
3/
 early on in the soviet revolution they killed off nearly all of the elites - art, academia, military, science, management.

excepted were only the high-IQ, middle class "elites" at the extreme top of the bolshevik faction.

other than that, the USSR was bereft of the elites. Image

(primordial intersectionalism?)

later on, the orthogonality has been enshrined in law:

 interesting thread, mostly solid, except the economic & political predictions.
2/
 the political alignments aren't shifting, because the current ones did *exactly* what the established wanted: they kept the establishment in power; Reps as "spicy opposition"; DSA as "far left bogeyman"; Dems as "moderates in between".
3/
 the economics point is a bit subtler:

- there is no need to *publicly* punish or shame anybody, because no group has been *officially* blamed for the economic meltdown
