Food, gas, and housing are skyrocketing. Anyone who made 32k a year prepandemic are making the same under handouts in blue states. Mass inflation, mass illegal immigration, mass prosecutions of political opposition. This is Stalin levels of infrastructure manipulation. At what point is society going to break? Is this internal crisis that started under Obama intentional to pass over hegemony to China as it continues to buy world organizations? How long until food lines?

I have seen you bring it up several times now, so I have to ask:
What this “digital wallet” of which you speak and why is it better for the powers that he than the current system? But I do agree with your larger point that the so called “masters of the world” are enjoying short term highs, but in the mid to long term the duct tape, superglue, and chewing gum will stop working and history and the world will not be kind to them (much like the industrial titans of the Gilded Age).
And how do you get people to go along with that? Because where I live, there are places that still refuse to accept anything but cash, and would sooner barter than use credit cards (never mind digital money), and people around here still mostly card for the convenience, but are also extremely uptight about the idea of digital money (if for no other reason than “Government is the problem”).
Where are they gonna put it?
Why would banks take cash when it's been replaced by digital currency? What happens when banks don't accept cash?
See my other reply.
I'm struggling to find the Digital Wallet video that I had previously seen, but here's the scoop on Digital Currency.
Digital Currency, and why you should be fucking terrified of it.
Digital Yuan is already being fully implemented in China
Basically, the Federal Reserve and all of the international investment banks are currently pushing for the introduction of a Digital Currency system. You will be able to download a Digital (Crypto) Wallet onto your phone, where the Digital Currency (FedCoin) will be deposited to you.
Your Digital Wallet will be how you are going to be getting all entitlement payments going into the future. All stimulus and tax return payments as well. The major corporations are going to work with each other, banks, and the government to promote discount charges to purchase done with your Digital Wallet, in order to get buy in.
Then the inevitable steps come after:
They won't get to the end without everything bursting into flames long before then, but that's basically the plan.
A digital currency allows for several very beneficial things from the perspective of the authoritarians:
I bought my friends 300 dollars in silver quarters last year. I don't regret that decision.
I mean, this scheme sounds like it hits the same problem with trying to get the guns from the US citizen: friendly states (and cities) will go along with it, but the second they leave New York or LA, they will be met with hundreds of millions of angry rednecks saying "Hippy hoppy, get off my property!" Because maybe (MAYBE) a few years/decades ago you could have gotten most people to go along with that, but with the increasing hostility toward both the government and the elite class, I think people would rather be penny-less than give the government so much as an ounce of their gold and silver. And its not like we out here would be starving, since most of us have the land (or access to someone who has land) to grow our own crops and hunt our own meat. Not enough to maintain some mega-city, but enough to keep our kin going, and since everyone knows everyone in a small town, it will go back to "You are one of us, so we will help you." And this is before you get to states like Texas and Florida that will refuse to comply, much like they did with the COVID Passport idea which pretty much killed the idea in the US outside of the usual suspects.
But I suppose, like you said in other threads, the elites are actually retards who got handed the keys to the castle (or as one of my favorite villains put it, "Like children playing with a nuclear weapon"). So perhaps that is why they are pursing an idea that is doomed from word go and they are too stupid (willfully or otherwise) to see that it will fail. And their greed and lust for power doesnt help in that regard. But history shows these types can not keep their power forever, and when they start to do stupid shit is when it all comes crashing down.
You spoke of needing to know history, and we have already seen things like this before. Again, the titans of industry who made the Gilded Age what it was also thought they were unstoppable. They had entire governments in their pocket. They openly bribed officials at practically every level of government. They hired PMC to destroy their rivals and to shoot their dissenters in mass numbers. And they openly flaunted the law. But corruption and bribery can only do so much to keep your people in power to protect you when literally everyone hates your guts and will do anything, retarded or otherwise, if it means they get to make you burn (incidentally, this is why Machiavelli argued that becoming hated as a ruler is something you should avoid at all cost). Time may have changed, but this fact has not, and I stand by my theory that the likes of Jack Dorsey, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerburg will go down in history as the modern day "Robber Barons", with Elon Musk taking up the spot of "Peoples Champion" like Carnegie did.
