I'm talking of an overarching check box belief system as a framework of interest and focus. You are an exaggerated opposite of what you criticise.

What I will say though is that I do agree largely with your point that it's those with power and wealth that steer these narratives and seek to divide along, often ridiculous, lines. On the social point, I acknowledge that the more extreme or worrisome a person's politics is the more that wider social detachment will inevitably be true. And that I have no reason to think that you're on the brink of oblivion and certainly encourage you to continue to get out and about to maintain common threads with society. Burst that basement door off it hinges mate! Just saying being part of an actual society is more true to life than online 'worlds' that lack much of what real life and people are actually about.

I see modesty is not your strongpoint.

Some of the smartest people I know lack the fundamental basics of common sense, social awareness and empathy. Oh, and they do often have a vastly over inflated belief that leads to them thinking their intelligence and very narrow, very specific expertise applies to everything, when in fact it only really applies to the thing they're good at. Traders are a classic example, although usually they're not often that smart, just ruthless. Over-inflated sense of self worth, ego etc., check.

Segues aside, my point stands. To insinuate that the war and the pandemic were engineered to prevent a systemic collapse is on probability and observation beyond fantasy, for so many reasons, as laid out above.

So is the claim that QE is the main driver behind current inflationary pressure. Plus further seeding every opinion you have with the idea that all of this is being carefully orchestrated and organised by a global cabal, all lined up neatly with each others thinking and without any disagreement or, ironically, independence relative to their own situations. Elite socialism. Utter Balderdash. People in power will always act to protect their own interests but to continue effectively pushing the extremes of this – a la the whole Bilderberg narrative is tiresome.

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

You are just playing the man not the ball including going over my old posts to try and dig up whatever you think will discredit me personally and by association any points I’m raising. If that’s your bag then so be it but don’t expect me to engage with it.

This thread is getting very entertaining at least.

So QE started in the UK 2009 but its the main driver of inflation in 2022. The fact that we had covid and oil and gas prices have gone though the roof due to this war is not as much a factor as QE.........

Sorry, but that is poppycock.

It's like you just ignored all I wrote.

What happened in 2009 doesn't even touch the floor of the QE from 2020.

But cool, you call it poppycock and you can just dismiss it.
