I only see war declared on working and middle class USA by all sitting govts, especially since 9/11.
Seeing that charity begins at home, I cannot see how the father of the house can declare war on his very own family.
This is madness.
The hungry and starving illegals from central and Latin America are only looking for a better life. I doubt they want to kill American citizens.
We have the same problem here in South Africa with foreign Africans and illegals coming in mainly from Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Congo, Malawi, Zambia, Namibia and Angola, because SA is like the USA of Africa in relative terms.
The only thing is, in SA these individuals are usually better educated, work exceptionally hard and with zero complaints - mainly in the service industries - and do not cause any trouble.
However, poor and working class South Africans want them all dead, because they take lots of jobs, and now and again there are some brutal and horrific incidences of zenophobic violence by South Africans against these individuals.
It's really a sad world fighting over scraps lower down on the food chain.
But to take out the middle class as a calculated move by all western govts - simply becuase the middle classes collectively have the clout, the education, the resources and the acumen, is malevolent.
The uber class of the likes of captains of industry like ex-South African fake piece of shit conman, Elon Musk; Mr injection micro-cock Gates; Fuckerberg; Bezos; and all the big Kahunas in finance, media, pharma, entertainment, and their respective hangers-on western politicians, really want to go back to some feudal system that will just benefit themelves.
I cannot understand how the middle classes in the west take it in the arse and do nothing about it, except post comments and get side-tracked by far-away issues, such as disputes in the middle east.
I suppose by posting this comment, I am doing the very same.
However, I live in the 3rd world and my govt does not want to kill me.
It welcomes my contribution to society.
My currency might be worth shit in USD or EURO or Pound Sterling, but it still pays the bills here in SA.
Maybe you want to send those Mexicans on a boat to SA. If they are hard-working and entrepreneurial and no trouble, then they have a future here.
During the period of the last three Rugby WC games which tournament, as you know, SA won, there was no loadshedding at all. Then it cranked up onto stages 1, 2 and 3. The next outage in my area in CT is from 2am to 4am on Wed 8 Nov 2023. This however can all change on short notice. The electricity problem is not as simple as it seems.
The Saffers who have left SA for the alleged 1st world (black or white or of Asian descent) have all made a conscious decision to look for apparent greener pastures. Most cannot stand being expats themselves for very long and are chronically homesick, but delusionally do it for their children, who couldn't give a rat's arse for mommy and daddy.
You need big cash to leave SA and live in the first world without debt.
You need at least GBP 750K//USD 950K cash for a family of four to live a decent lifestyle in the UK.
For that amount of money (ZAR 17M) you can live like a fucking king in SA. But yes, you can get hijacked, murdrered, held up and heisted, and sit in the dark.
However, you won't sit in the dark with ZAR 17M because you will have a generator and 24/7 armed security services and live in a palace.
Yes, it's corrupt as fuck in SA, but unlike Nigeria - where the stolen State money goes straight to Switzerland - all SA stolen govt funds get spent locally on motor vehicles, holidays, holiday homes, designer clothing, restaurants, hookers, drugs, lifestyle, etc. So, the local economy ticks on; probably better on account of the stealing. This is where my tax money goes twice a year and althought I am not OK with it, I pay it with good conscience and then there is nobody coming to my house in the middle of the night like the Feds did to Mr Trump in Mar-a-Lago.
It's not even close to 1% of perfect here in SA; however, you missed the subtle point of my comment.
I won't even get into the UK shit-show, I can well leave you to that (my wife is from London), whether you are Tory or Labour.
It is global yes, but South Africa is slightly different because of its unique history and where it sits right now locally and on the world stage.
Unless you live here, day-in-and-day-out, you will not understand what I mean.
But yes, you can well speak to the ones who have left for their own particular reasons and read the hellish articles about the new SA Armageddon project by both local SA and foreign journalists. We know how honest the media is.
"Without drama, there is no story" is what they teach in film-school 101.
Somewhere right now, there's a hard-working black or white or Asian SA family who are getting shit done and, as they say on SA TV, "living their best life".
Are you a fan of English comedian Stewart Lee (he does an excellent pisstake of Scottish legend - here's the link: https://youtu.be/tHA1ufmLZQY?si=JJDbyU5jchxdPxGd); also I really enjoy the writing of Irvine Welsh; and of course Frankie Boyle, although Stewart Lee wipes the floor with Frankie in terms of intellect.
You can send any nice pics of the great outdoors of Scottish Highlands if you have any to my email address please, because, one day, I'd love to hike those routes.

Is your power back on today yet!!
I have met increasingly more relatively wealthy South Africans here in UK both black and White.
All, mention governmental corruption, surprise surprise.
It's Global...

Thanks for that, very interesting perspective. I'm live in Scotland and the "shit show" you speak of reached this part of the UK too.
The world is in trouble just now, the bankers desperately trying to "sort" it. Through their lackies in the military/industrial/pharma complex.
WW3 is as predicted decades ago, is looming.
All of this to distract from the banking system crisis and the lies and corruption of our "leaders". Convid. Ukraine. Gaza.
The Great Reset. Good luck my friend. ❤️✌️🙄
Greetings,
Thank you Dukes for your reply.
If you ever come to CT, get hold of me and come round for a few jars and a "braai" (barbecue).
