In reality, everything is much more complicated than it seems. We are witnesses of the consequences of global technologies and IT revolutions.
The IT and Tech industry is changing even the landscape of politics. If you look closely at the average age of top politicians in the West and the quality of today's low-paid Western bureaucracy, it is easy to understand that the world trend has been going on for at least 20 years: politics and civil service cause rejection among young people. "Dirty", "fake", "low pay", "under scrutiny", "no personal life". It is not at all necessary to graduate from university to become a millionaire, if your head works and, for example, you are strong in coding or have a cool software concept.
As for the place of the military industry in the USA, which used to always occupy 1-2 place, the IT/Tech revolution moved it to 5-6. Accordingly, the influence of the Military Industry lobby on politics. This is partly why we increasingly see isolationist congressmen who defend narratives that are terrible, primarily for the United States. The slogan "Let's make peace, not war" became the best description of the day. "Why shoot at each other when you can scold each other."
It is natural that left-wing conformists, who are used to not creating anything and are strong in inventing various quotas and prohibitions, perfectly occupied an empty place, not disdain for "dirty politics", as well as guys who are not very successful in education and innovation, who hid behind state privileges and stability in the offices of the old state premises.
World Western politics is devastated. There are no more big ideas, meanings, risks and determination. More attention is paid to "global warming", LGBT rights and quotas than to security issues. If we look at modern weapons, the latest developments date back to the 90s.
Despite all the severity of the situation, which, in my opinion, will only get worse, I still look at what is happening as a chance for a global reboot of the West and the emergence of new leaders ready to act, who will raise the stakes until the complete victory of civilization over darkness . There is simply no other option.
