We're witnessing the rise of corporate nation-hood. Corporations and their governing boards or tyrants are getting bigger than most nation states, and a lot of their workers are more loyal to the company/CEO than their country. They have personal security forces. We're definitely in a period of increasing acuteness and concentration, not a period of release and expansion. Hopefully the catharsis results in something better than the Pax Americana, which only produced a society of navel-gazing retards.
Snow Crash and Jennifer Government covered this pretty well.
They already have their own private CIA
That's just the CIA
You would have to be retarded to think anything good comes out of concentrating wealth into corporations by impoverishing the people. The rise of corporations isn't something novel or new. It's just aristocracy wearing a new mask. We are seeing the rebirth of nobles as a higher class that will be held to different laws and receive different treatment by society. The same thing that our ancestors rebelled against during the French Revolution and what the founding fathers fought against when they created our country. This is going to lay the foundation for monarchy and fascism. The same thing nobles always want. Absolute power.
Our country has founding fathers? Was it the Romans?
you may come to miss pax Americana
