It's hard to diagnose American Gladio because a Gladio operation would be indistinguishable from how America is all the time.
Yeah...there's a part of me that just thinks "oh, so a retired alphabet agency ghoul hung out in a white supremacist chatroom? You mean like many of them probably do just to shitpost/stir the pot while active?"
My stance on this when people first started talking about the possibility of it being something like a gladio operation was that it was probably unintentional, because why would the feds have to put in the effort if shits gonna happen anyway
The last few days, and all the new information that's come out in those few days, have me seriously rethinking that stance
Gladio was also about not letting Europe have any close relationship with Soviet Union, infiltration of radical left movements etc. It was similar to Condor in many ways. The accidental part I would assume, is that white supremacy is the basic moral value that this country was built on, The Great Replacement theory, Qanon and other bullshit fascist rhetoric is prevailent among law eforcement. But I doubt it was a plot carried by FBI, like Cointelpro or infiltration of muslims after 9/11 to justify new anti-terrorist policies. But maybe I'm wrong, it's just my feeling.
But why would you even need Gladio in America? Just to give them more and more power and money? How much is too much and it will lead to inevitable collapse?
America is kind of stuck in the "Common Ruin of the Contending Classes" trajectory; as was ancient Rome. It's likely not actually ever going to "collapse" internally, either to revolution, or mismanagement. Rather, institutional rot is going to become so pervasive that the US would simply not be able to defend itself from a foreign aggressor. It's already not really able to exert itself militarily (in a "productive", goal-oriented sense that is) against the world anymore.
