They enjoyed "prosperity" Anon. For a brief time it was "good". Now. Some, "Elities" as you like to call them enjoyed a time of limited decadence and wealth. the decadent, won the war, and wasted their talents. The wealthy, they fell into two camps. Those that were religious, and those scientific. The religious, harbored families. Followed doctrine. The scientific, followed logic, down a golden path of sorts. They found out ways to do the impossible. Space travel. Life extension. Muslims. They fall into the former variety. Religious prosperity, under doctrine. But they have never know these black mirrors. These golems that are about to set forth. Electricity and technology, to many of them, is magic. So we once again fall into the cycle that repeats. Where the right goes for quantity and the left goes for quality. Every time this has been employed. Men like me sneak off into the corners of the world and watch you eat each other. Laughing all the way to Hell, as it usually ends in massive wars that I simply don't care for.
