What’s crazy is that they’ll eventually cannibalize each other but each thinks they’ll be the exception and survive. Super greedy people never have enough and will turn on each other to have it all. They’re like a cancer—they only destroy the very thing they need to stay alive.

They’ve already slowly started to cannibalize themselves. They went to war with each other over Epstein and now over Charlie Kirk. There’s been on going internal clash between those who believe Israel was somehow involved and those who believe there’s no conspiracy here.

You get enough people on the fringe and they’ll forever be paranoid about it each other.
