"A centrifuge is a piece of laboratory equipment that separates substances based on density by spinning a sample at high speed, creating a centrifugal force. This force causes denser components to move outwards, while less dense components move towards the center, allowing for separation."
Current politics are a phenomenal use of the principles of a centrifuge applied to the old Roman precept of dividing and conquering. It is ancient history on modern warfare steroids using a rhetoric as old as humanity itself: a threat that can be dealt with and solved only one way.
The more IMMINENT a real or perceived threat becomes, the more we move away from the center and closer and closer to an extreme approach to problem-solving. At its most extreme, even the most draconian solutions become acceptable as long as they promise the means to an end of such real or perceived threat.
The "centrifugal effect" of politics is created by inducing the prospect of an otherwise artificially fabricated threat until division and separation is achieved. However, that separation is merely a by-product of a more profound manipulation of the extremes into a false sense of unity.
Effectively, by use of various political mechanisms and socio-economic levers, a very small minority orchestrates and achieves a high level of volatility while creating a sense of unity in the midst of an irreparable division.
Paradoxical and brilliant at the same time, this is the signature move of a takeover ideology through a slash and burn approach where individuals are reduced to mere numbers, digital points on a map of power (RE)distribution.
And our troubles don't end there.
To put the cherry on the top, or rather a final nail in the coffin of a Utopian dream, even if that minority was indeed trying to solve a global (threat) problem, if they were EVIL they would consider the ignorant masses an obstacle to solving that problem, while if they were GOOD they would only see solutions implementable from the center - where they cannot stay due to the forces pushing them towards an extreme solution. The centrifugal nature of current politics prevents ANYONE other than the minority controlling the centrifuge from solving ANYTHING of real consequence for the betterment of humanity.
So who is in charge, you may ask?
Follow the money, some will say, but I believe this global crisis has gone beyond money and even beyond power. It has gone to the extreme levels of Ideology, at the edge of the moral exosphere of humanity where a handful of mere mortals believe to be Gods and act upon such belief with the full technological might they have amassed.
The axis of evil is not a group of rogue governments. As evil as those may be, they are still driven by mere lethal ideologies - dangerous, but isolated. The real axis of evil is catastrophic to the entirety of humanity and it is accelerating its pace towards its endgame: the redesigning of civilization in their own image.
So don't follow the money.
Follow the stealth technology of the emerging Ai where its applications blur the lines between civilian and military realms. For this particular axis of evil, we are not people - we are tools and targets, we are the means to our own end.
Our own ignorance and indiference is the hi-grade power source of the system meant to dominate us, even if that domination means our extermination.
If you will say that this is absolutely nothing new under the Sun, you will be sorely mistaken. Never before has Humanity witnessed and experienced such technological acceleration away from humanity itself.
