  1. It is not easy to clarify completely or as any factual truth. The war for resources like oil and gas has never ceased, but since 9/11 and in combination with the internet the "reality" has changed drastically for the common person. Conquer and divide is not a new thing for the power elite and for politicians – but what can be staged now is immense. In that regard what used to be far more independent news media in the West is now more or less contained within 5 mega-conglomerates, that is not good for the general diversity of the mainstream media flow. And I mention that because another fact is that many countries in the West have large generations that now are getting pretty old, which sadly for a large part turns to very narrow viewpoints, conservatism and "it was better back then" type rhetoric. The problem of the large older generations is that many systems will soon be on a heavy financial challenge to service the generations that are no longer productive – But it is not all on them far from it. Financially the West have overall not really made any significant steps to create more longterm based stable economies – instead, the speculation market has skyrocketed out of control with e.g algorithmic automated investment systems that create fast turnarounds which have nothing to do with the actual and real productivity in a country. Even further this financial systems have speculated to far worse extend with collapses and taxpayer money payback like in 2008. One economist described the long low rent influence on the market as a person who has been on cocaine for 10 years and then suddenly stops taking cocaine with major recovery problems to follow. Also "Starving the Beast" must be mentioned – just look at how much the low-end salaries in e.g the USA has stagnated over the last 30 years. Countries with weak or corrupted unions have paid a severe price for this lack and at some point, a person can only take so much before frustration becomes an everyday sate. That is when the divide sets in and we humans have a really bad habit always blaming others to avoid seeing our own fails, or part in creating our own misery. When the "beast" has been starved enough it will eat nearly anything, bark and bite at anything. It does not take much news to get the public to rise against e.g Muslims or other minorities "Acts of Terror" etc. – looking at the real numbers for these events in comparison to the media coverages and their effects on public opinions makes it evident that it is a highly political and manipulative endeavor. That said we can not neglect that the West has lived on a somewhat fatal illusion about what really brings happiness and prosperity to the majority of people – Pure Materialism is certainly not the finite answer – Democracy is after a certain period of time doomed to fail due to corruption and nepotism and brutalist communism or national socialism has never worked either. As such one could say that in our materialistic life we reached a new high, but the downside was falling into a form of luxurious apathy leading to ignorance to more large picture warnings. Overall we must simply acknowledge that our so-called industrial revolution and also the so-called "Very High" living standards of the West has come at immense costs on many levels – everything from oil wars, the abuse of slave-like labor in third world countries for cheap productions, our never-ending need to constantly growth leading to highly controversial productions methods like GMO, use of Penicillin on healthy animals, pesticides ending in the water reserves, and a Pharmaceutical industry that has very doubtful agenda – reading: "If you completely heal people you have lost a customer", and many other highly destructive events. In all this race to stay on top, to lead in the world we have completely forgotten that we all live on the same one planet and that our resources usage has grown to insane levels – Even last year the world had used its quote of available world resources in August. Our way of modern living is simply not sustainable, our financial systems have become speculation wealth that does not reflect the real productivity of our societies, The internet has opened the gates to an immense amount of valuable information – But users are still suckers for "reality show news", fast drama and TV Candy – Essentially we have neglected the often quite nasty facts behind the "machine" that has brought us to this point in time and we are still neglecting it. And lets also not forget that moving technology to Asia and in particular to China was essentially a fatal strategy if anybody wanted the West to maintain leadership status in the world – But the world at large is not driven by such thinking – the West is now driven by fast growth, fast earnings, short term populistic and highly nepotistic politics and no real broadly accepted or even debated visions for where we aim to go for the next 50 years. That is something that China has already laid out as a 5 pillar concept. If any leading politician in the West would read out the 5 pillar concept from China – we would drop out jaws in hearing such thinking spoken out loud. Trump is properly the mark in time giving a very large hint that we need to get our shit together and that the politicians are not gonna solve anything really, that the market-driven forces will continue to think profit and that we "the people" are in it and essentially the only ones that can bring real change by changing the way we live and the way we reflect about the lives we live. To continue as nothing has changed and as nothing will change is for sure fatal on so many levels. What we are witnessing and what you rightfully call a chaotic TV reality show is a very large hint to question what is our reality? – How did we end at this point? Post Trump will surely leave some rather big questions for the general public – Is this really what we want? is this really the only way?. And for the world and for the USA in particular, the understanding of the word "Freedom" will need redefinition and re-clarification. "It is not the strongest, nor the fastest of species that survive, but those most adaptive" – The question is if the West wants to adapt in pure necessity with no other options or if the West wants to be clever about it, plan ahead and start implementing general changes to our perception, understanding and of our current way of living.
