  • I’ve been thinking this basically the whole time with the second administration. It’s the most conspiracy oriented I’ve ever been, but I genuinely think there is a non zero chance that the entire goal of this administration has been to crash the dollar and world economy to force the globe into a position where digital currencies take over nation state derived currency as the foundation of global markets. I’d say I’m 5-10% confident this is the case, which is very high.

    That their goal is to destabilize not just the world, but the very concept of nation-states to be replaced with a corporate/privately owned concept of a nation state or state level actor.

    I know there are specific conspiratorial threads on this concept but I e intentionally avoided looking into those. I think there is ample evidence at the surface only to have this kind of suspicion.



















  • As bad as it is, and yes, before the apologists come in, yes it’s worse under Trump, Quality of life has declined year over year for decades, under Democratic and Republican administrations.

    Biden wasn’t an improvement. Neither was Trump’s first term. Things didn’t improve under Obama. Life got objectively harder for all Americans under Bush. Clinton sold out unions and the middle class with NAFTA. Bush Sr. continued all the processes that started this downwards spiral under Reagan.

    Americans are entering into almost their sixth decade of a continuous downward spiral of quality of life that has been a cooperative project under Democratic and Republican administrations to carve off and sell America for parts.

    The neoliberalism and the white supremecy required to support it are the core of the issue, and that is a collaborative project both Republicans and Democrats participate in.
