Paranoia: pretty much all of it, but you can start with the very first line: Contemplate the following details very closely, because they are what is planned for you.
Contemplate the following details very closely, because they are what is planned for you.
Envy: anywhere details are provided showing just what the rich are able to do (Kozlowski, the international elite sending their young to Switzerland).
Xenophobia: the details of the Chinese factory, the emergence of China as a power or this little bit from the end:
For laughs, let's try replacing some of the terminology on key sections describing the new masters of the world, secret leaders of the coming yellow horde:
That hereditary nobility, ex-communist apparatchicks, tin-pot dictators, warlords and drug runners are the principal beneficiaries of the gamut of policies commonly aggregated under the label "globalization" is what is known as "a fact." Because it is, you know, provably true. That the primary beneficiaries of globalization are Jews is what is known as "a lie." Because it is, you know, provably not true.
This sort of matters. In the same way the difference between the statement "industrial agriculture is the main contributor to fertilizer runoff" and the statement "churches are the main contributors to fertilizer runoff" is sort of important. Namely in that the former is true, and the latter is libel.
And the difference between objecting to a conspiracy theory and objecting to a description of a criminal conspiracy is also important. Because it's the difference between debunking and tone trolling.
You may want to look up that difference, because right now you're doing it wrong.
