Incompetent power mongers taking over the social structures and converting them into power structures creates a stupidity problem. Corrupters assume they improve what they control. Believing in their corruption creates a high degree of resistance to correction or opposition.

Believing in corruption as something of value is a measure of stupidity. The stupidity is then a carry-over to all that corrupters do.

The first impression that emanates from corrupters is ineptness in degrading what is supposedly improved. After a degree of decadence, the results show up as unsolvable problems.

At the broadest level, the problem of stupidity shows up in terms of conflicts being created, where normalcy had been reducing conflicts. Corrupters believe in their conflicts. They assume that conflict is needed to improve their position.

That assumption is built into the process, when corrupters decide that prevailing against other persons would solve their problems. Their assumed improvement in taking over social structures results from the assumption that conflict must be created to get better results. A situation is not being fully exploited unless a conflict is being created, they assume. Trump had the trade laws rewritten in the expectation of getting a better deal when beating up opponents.

The belief in that standard and methodology is creating global problems, as corrupters decide they need conflicts with countries which are depended upon in a highly complex global economy. Russia and China are the major examples. The U.S. has been quite dependent upon Russia for numerous resources—some refined, such as nitrogen fertilizer, and some basic, such as aluminum and uranium. Yet corrupters assume they must degrade Russia for some indescribable reason.

Similarly, the U.S. is more than dependent upon China for manufacturing most consumer products and who-knows-what for specialty products. Yet China must be antagonized for various reasons.

Certainly, there are always problems that must be addressed in all complex interactions; but assuming an increase in antagonistic relationships is the answer is beyond stupidity.

At the domestic level, corrupters have been trying to disconnect social functions including governmental and organizational activities from their dependencies and unilaterally redesigning and manipulating the results. Hijacking governmental processes including political campaigns are examples. Incompetent power mongers assume they can produce a better result by disconnecting all other influences but their own; and then nonfunctionality is the result.

Privatization has a long history of creating those problems. Once a social function has been privatized, it deteriorates into nonfunctionality. Not only is the cause the stupidity of the power mongers who take over the processes, but the essential relationships between the realities are disconnect in the process.

Healthcare has become nonfunctional for that reason, as investors moved in to convert healthcare into a financialization process for profit-making purposes. The theoretical questions of that purpose being workable were irrelevant to the process of incompetent corrupters hijacking healthcare with no ability to function constructively. No amount of money will fix that problem under those conditions.

Corrupters assume they are making improvements in disconnecting all activity from any influence but their own. That assumption is inherent in the ethic of corruption. The ethic of corruption is based on domination, which means prevailing against other persons. That means fighting a war against everyone else and taking over all processes to prevail and dominate. The assumption is as stupid as the decadent results.

The indescribable reason for degrading Russia is that Russia supposedly invaded a country and won't stop until they get to Washington. But two months before the extremely limited invasion, Russia wrote up a document for NATO countries to sign attempting to assure their security would be respected by getting weapons off their border. The net effect of the response was, no one is going to tell us how to fight our wars. So Russia had no choice but to remove the weapons from their border through a military method.

Sanctions were imposed on Russia long before the supposed invasion. The purpose of the sanctions was to shift the oil market away from Russia and toward the West. While doing that, NATO weapons were moved onto Russia's border to be used to murder civilians who rebelled against the Nazi take-over of their country.

That's the same logic destroying the U.S. economy by creating nonfunctionality. Corrupters try to rationalize the result saying the economy is marvelous, except that it needs to be stifled to prevent inflation. The only indication given for a marvelous economy is 3.9% unemployment. Why not something more relevant? Because nothing more relevant indicates an improved economy. The number 3.9% has no meaning, as the method of calculating is so complex and has been changed so many times that it produces any result needed for rationalizing.

Nothing could be stupider than telling another country how to run their economy through sanctions. The results might be slow; but no one is going to allow that standard to prevail in global governance or economics.
