Hey, this is just normal behavior in the dark forest of proprietary software- if good things happen, they are out to get you, some angler out to get you.
Obviously, you are not at home in the UK. Where do you want to go?
All the kings man and horses declared war on reality once more- as they had done when they declared war on economic reality, starving millions and deporting more. The madness of make believers.
Its cultural - and yes, the other interventions are what is fueling this war. Are you so racist, you can not even imagine other cultures being capable of imperialism and colonialism? Educate yourself.

If you do not tax cooperate income away, or at least force them by law to bind it in investments, it will attack the surrounding containment vessel of laws and culture.
Its like a ocean wave, crashing against the cliff, year in, year out, proposal after proposal, waiting for that final atrocity, justifying pushing it through.
The white cliffs of Dover, with no plan on how to regain one day that land, once the crisis subsides. And no mechanism to prevent a permanent crisis, because the controls justify the manufacturing of endless crisis.
Resume driven design, is running into the desert of moores plateau punishing the use of ever more useless abstractions. They get quieter, because their projects keep on dying after the revolutionary tech is introduced and they jump ship.
Such personality cultists usually filter for other great egos in there sphere, leaving behind burned out parties filled with syccophants. If the history of the USSR teaches us anything, the more dangerous aspirants are bookkeepers for the party, managing silently in the background, secret service personal and (checks notes) clowns?

The whole Eco-system is designed like a lobster trap. Easy to get in, hard to get out except by swimming through hot butter sauce.
Empathy is a hackable interface- those that are exposing it, are in this attention economy civil war zone- lesser beings by default.
They once where protected by the state- but the state, as policeman- has been continuously reduced in its protector role, by those, who found hackable political interfaces, the ticks on the state wave through the fleas on the people. The pent-up backlash to all this results in a militant vote for anti-parasitic and exposure limiting institutions.
Fascism promises to remove those attackers, by fire-walling away the exterior and prosecuting perceived attackers on the inside of the nation.
Every successful scam, every allowed exploit, is a advertising for the totalitarians who promise to restore order.
I missed that notice at where its says: Here be a near mars atmosphere in temperature, pressure (40 kms up) but not as hostile composition and with less radiation. Thats five Mt Everests high.
As in every idealistic movement, the fundamentalists(which contribute all the talk and non of the walk) hijack it and drive it into a wall.
Should hire us autists and allow us to program via voice commands and augmented reality.. i would love something almost automate-able while doing something that also needs higher brain functions.
Remember dukie from the wire. He would be one such example. Functional parents, addicts, but functional. Not living on the streets.
It is already final. You can not be stuck in medieval times in a world with nuclear weapons and proliferation. Had Israel not taken out the reactors of Iraq and Syria, ISIS and Iraq would have nukes today. Which would result (because non-reasonable actors aka fanatics longing for the afterlife) in a regional exchange.
The middle east is already gone. They will nuke one another, rather sooner then later. And their governments know. They desperately embrace the surveillance state as stabilizer, move there centers of government out of population centers expected to implode in senseless rebellion and anarchy again and again - they want to build cities optimized to escape nuclear retribution, for the day when some of their madmen lob a device at Israel.
They celebrate right now in Ghaza and chant for more violence:

And that boiling cauldron of madness is wide spread:

Its fall showed, that cultural relativism and universal liberalism, where just western delusions. Socialism was a dead ideology by then, but this really attacked western values, insofar, that a dried husk of a imperialist religious ideology, revived with western demand for natural resources (oil) would rather engage in cultural warfare upon western values and society then trying to fix itself.
It was a ringing bell, bringing the attention back to the old ugly worldorder of great games, land-empires and bloody conquest and the inability to isolate from hostile ideologies, even if you are the usa and living on a giant island. Bush went to iraq and the failure to build any working state there- showed not only the failure of neoncons, but also of the whole "all cultures are equal" and academic impotence. There explanation models had nothing for this but tired rehashes of colonial/anti-colonial ideology, no predictions, no real help, just "belief in universal values and western culture, and righton" - and that was it.
No help for the 2 billion stuck in religious ember, not real analysis to free the wasted geniuses trapped under burkas. Silence, ideology and absence, thats whats left.
Well, its the end-game - there will no be monopoly break-ups because the companies will be the government
