Greetings from South Africa. Thanks for a rare insightful post on Hive that's not about economics.
Indeed here in South Africa the system has been in slow decline for 30 years. We just tolerate and live with it, resigned to the fact that our will probably never return to us further efficiency.
Add to that the show creep of the global points you mentioned about mass migration. We have loads of it.
And the western cultural decay adds even more resignation to the inevitable new globalist liberal push. Here we can just head for the hills since there is still lots of space. But when the digital money system and technocracy arrives, we may all be simply turned into slaves of the evil overlords.
