but also too: those separate Hives you delineate contain n% of bipeds with decent jelloware, most (I'd bet) even better informed about each's place/power? within the maze.
In past (as with the AG et al threatening mass-Resignations over one of Decider-Shrub's wild-ass directives) sub-groups have demonstrated both their existence and their power.
(While we'd be gullible to count-on such counters to the general direction towards wholesale discorporation, just this one facet.. may have more leverage than most suspect.)

OTOH, my little-grey-cells find a dearth of material on which to chew, within the daily newsfotainment; within the surreal there's little point in spinning the cylinders
of one's personal Enigma Decoder in foolish attempt to find any plain-text whatsoever: it is bogus-by-design.
Even simpler than your summary: Corruption is so rampant that, it is impossible to find any message which isn't compromised-by-design.

Thus the grey-cells punt. As do I; 'they' and I can.. do triage on, say, how much to spend (?) on a vet for some critter [with even less-Representation than mine.]
Since I can't have the grey-cells eating-each-other like a Repo at NRA HQ, shall eschew any Pol-donations whatsoever, to keep those cells purring,
(ever-reinforced when one supposed to die.. didn't, and the purring in each: synchronize.)
Screw the perpetual appeals to send-$$ to Neutralize! [is that not a Hah!! ?] the rich+brain-dead yada yada. Karma will have to/will do that sort-out. Not moi.

The cognizant minority Must preserve their equanimity; RAGE, on the Scale of This-much corruption..? simply wastes energy and can turn one as psychotic as the lumpenproletariat. No?
We Built It; They Came and polluted it All. Now it;'s Clean-the-Augean Stables time: (it worked for a demi-god.)
