I second op's opinions. But I think he's missing a coda. Which I will supplement with hopefully some *briefer* thoughts of my own.

I'm no economist (more like economically ignorant) but I keep seeing serious discussions (not just conspiracy memes) pertaining to a "controlled destruction" of the US and wider world economies, since many of these extremely important national and indeed global economies have become multi-decadal Ponzi schemes, the popping of which can no longer be postponed much longer. So the options for the world elite are uncontrolled economic destruction (i.e. an apocalypse relative to what we've seen so far) or controlled economic demolition under the pretext and sign of various disparate, but seemingly accelerating/overlapping regional and international, forces majeures, designed both to conceal the unavoidable and indeed accelerating approach of the world capitalist system's mega crash; its true causes; the endemic scale and nature of elite corruption that in no small part contributed to it; and–when it comes–the very reality or nature of what hit us and thereby what is being done about it.

A permanent retraction of world economy, thereby precipitous decline in wealth/standard of living for billions (including in First World to be sure), is the obvious end result per the logic of such a macroeconomic/geopolitical hypothesis. Wealth of plutocrats and oligarchs will decline as well, relative to the rest though they will remain firmly in control. Indeed perhaps their hold on power will be even greater as a result of new and varying, but more or less universalised, permanentized authoritarian measures and regimes, justified under the most varied and politically disparate (ostensibly opposite) ideological differences.

Furthermore, I really do wonder if all this endless manufacturing of "culture war" grotesqueries–the MSM as psyop machine to whitewash bourgeois dominative imperatives/capitalist reality/reality of its material conditions (and the systematics of its sustainability or lack thereof)--are just so much peanuts on the plane as the world economic jetliner reaches the final trajectory of its inevitable cataclysmic date with the granite-faced, Himalayan-scale destiny of total economic collapse and/or controlled elite demolition. One that might be summed up as acceleration of infinite capitalist demands divided by an even greater acceleration of the finitization of macro-scale capitalist-necessary energy resources. Something's gotta give...and it won't be the elites!
