>>510558809On some level, in thriving countries, rich/educated people can get together, form a plan and follow through. This isn't happening here, the basic nucleus of societal organizational just isn't there. The "rich" belong to two categories, either shipowning tax-dodgers who dislike each other over family feuds, or state-dependent construction/energy firms (often the same people have their hand in both pots). The middle-class is poisoned with party politics and believes in profiting as much as possible when their guys are in power. The "educated" are all frauds, also installed to universities by political parties, who keep arguing with each other over petty differences. The working class is completely miserable and uneducated, and follow populists to their own destruction. And all of this is sustained by tens of billions in gibs that keep flowing in for geopolitical reasons (+tourism). There's no moral code, no gentlemanly agreements, no putting our differences aside for the greater good.
