They don’t want a return to normal, they want a return to feudal slavery. The financial warfare is just a means to that end until the point where money doesn’t matter anymore.

It makes sense that they’re prone to the falacy of expecting things to carry on happenning mostly as they’ve happenned in their lifetimes, same as everybody else.
