Here's my amateur 2 cents.

Governments exploit, some worse than others. Governments manifest division and otherism. Governments pretend to be conservative and/or progressive. Immigrants and/or aliens will scrub the toilets and pick the tomatoes other citizens won't. The filthy rich tell the wealthy to propagandize the middle class into hating the poor and aliens.

Other countries are importing refugees to stir chaos. The US rejects them to stir chaos.

Further, like Iraq was starved and weakened by sanctions between wars, so too, I think the elite are intentionally starving out the American people while feeding them propaganda, bad food, and consumerist distractions so they won't realize how they're being exploited and exterminated.

Following the collapse of the continuing American Experiment the rest of the world will soon have their versions applied.

Douglas Valentine in his "CIA As Organized Crime" explains how the vulture class (elites, military, banksters, deep state, etc) corrupted Vietnam with the Phoenix Program which was perfected in Iraq and applied in the USA under Homeland Security. I haven't read far enough yet to learn more details about this yet to expand upon it.
