Seemingly. There was Jeffrey Epstein, and there is Donald Trump. We are in a Crisis Era, and this one seems so far to elevate the narcissist as much as the last one tore the narcissistic tendency down. If the Depression did not shake people of narcissism, then the Second World War did. We need to go to some basics -- do good for people, and you will do well... but do bad things to people and be ruined.

I agree. Now, how much of that plutocracy is liberal as you say and more enthused with funding their own pet projects abroad and more enthused with funding their political choice and more enthused with feeding their own precious ego's and more enthused drinking expensive wine and eating expensive food and seeking to again more attention to/for themselves or flying around the world at the taxpayers expense promoting their ideology and themselves to the children of those who are similar to them or promoting family members or close friends while being treated and served like kings and queens of old. PB, do you think I would cry, get upset or feel bad if an event similar to the French revolution took place in San Fransisco or California and Nancy Pelosi was placed on public trial and voted guilty and beheaded. Nope, I wouldn't be upset because that is what they do, what they teach by doing it and seem to be OK with it.

It is the people you support and vote for who are the plutocratic elite, not the people liberals like me vote for and support.

Your anti-tax, anti-welfare, pro-gun ideology enables the plutocrats to have lower taxes, fewer regulations, less government; and this enables them to pile up riches and build the oligarchy.

Nothing wrong with guns for self defence. Don't like certain types being available, but the main thing is loads of sensible regulations and teaching how to own one sensibly and do checks on the person every year or so. My partner lives in Slovakia where I will be going in a couple months time. Apparently they also have guns on them unlike in my country but they are well trained and if something happens like an armed robbery they by law are legally allowed to shoot the armed robbers. He says this actually deters people from committing such crimes as who wants to be shot lol. Admittedly I was shocked because I do live in a country where it is illegal to carry guns. Not security, police don't carry them on them nor civilians. Americans could make a case that if something were to happen they could kill many. Like in the mosque shootings. But it is also not in the culture here. Generally it is peace loving. However that said, it is a different system I will be going into in Slovakia and if it works, it works right. Main thing is these people can defend themselves and others around them and have been taught how to properly use a gun by the sounds of things. So what is the issue with guns? It is rather the supposed lack of wise regulations that is one let down in your country so any nut can easily access one.

Well, the issue is the amount of people and the size of the country. How do you keep track of multiple millions of people who already own guns and the millions more buying and selling new guns and prevent a few of them from murdering others with them? Keep in mind, this is going on every day in all fifty states. Oh, that's just the legal gun market. We also have an illegal gun market that the authorities are already working to keep some measure of legal control over too. Also, our government did what your country did with mental health funding around 50 years ago. In my opinion, the issue is more of a mental health issue than a legal gun issue. If we had the issue that liberals try make it out to be, we would have dead bodies laying all over the place. The vast majority of Americans don't live in an area infested with street gangs and all sorts of other criminals.
