Black Government is War

 Black governments cannot declare peace. They are always at war with the host society. Also sometimes at war with foreign societies, assuming they can get their head out of their ass long enough to notice a foreigner exists.

 Politicians are adept at getting in front of trends that are already happening and claiming credit. States are credited with writing and stuff, which is nonsense. Black governments erode sophistication and complexity. They attack everything delicate, then turn their attacks on the hardening structures which resist its trespasses. NASA retarded space flight and likewise, even if we can't nail down the details, black governments have been a lodestone weighing down cultural development. You can't elucidate the principles of perspective drawing when there's cannon shells whizzing over your head. Art requires peace, which requires ejecting the black government. Society happens despite the drag, not because of it.

 If society doesn't win the war against its own government, it dies. Then the government, being a parasite which just lost its host, also dies. Hence the market cycle. Hence the fall of empire.
