It feels like topics I used to only see on r/conspiracy—like Epstein and the deep state—are now all over mainstream subreddits.

The US is doing what it always has done, only now the pretexts are weaker than ever. Did things really have to get this obvious before people finally realized that western governments only care about what's best for the oligarchy?

People are distracted with their treats. The economic crisis has forced people to actually care.

At one point in time, communists were branded as conspiracy theorists when they called liberal democracies as oligarchies masqueraded as democracies, nowadays it's pretty clear they were correct. Really all these truths that have "come to light" recently are topics that have been studied by communists since at least the early 20th century.
