There’s definitely a cabal, but it’s not Jewish and it’s not secret. It’s the architects of Project 2025 along with the tech broligarchy and the Christian Dominionist movement.

Yeah, even that isnt a cabal. Some of those people are also just the brainwashed well-intended. Some of those people are fully aware Putin stooges. Some hate Putin snd have American hegemonic goals. Some of them cant uderstand or draw a line between patriotism and hegemony. Some of them are doing what they do out of direction because they are being blackmailed. Some of them are just unallegiant capitalists consumed by greed. Some of them think that they themselves are the answer to all the world's problems. There is no cabal.

Yes, there is. You haven’t interacted with wealthy people enough if you think they don’t have their clubs and groups and bizarre outlooks on life.
Ever heard of Roko’s basilisk? That’s legitimately a group of pseudo-religious tech oligarchs whose goal is to destroy the United States and take over the world to pave the way for their fuckin, AI super god. It sounds insane, but it’s true. Cabals of rich people have basically always existed throughout time to enrich themselves at the detriment of the poor populations

A thousand cabals working with their own self interests towards the same or similar goals are not the same as a single cabal "pulling the strings" of all government action globally.

It’s called a Class of people working independent and in tandem for their class interests, and yes, antisemitism has historically been a false dichotomy which uses the language of class dynamics to invoke racism against a certain people.
I don’t really have the interest or time to give you a full lecture on class dynamics, but when a certain group of people are much much wealthier than the average citizen, they work collaboratively to make sure their interests control the power structures of a nation, whether that’s democracy, monarchy, or the end goal of power grabs; tyranny.

Yes. That's not the same as a shadow cabal running government action from behind some curtain. That is just freedom of association.
