  1. As bad as the US is the rest of the world seems to be in worse shape. Russia was strengthened but they were in bad shape, maybe only India and Brazil might have some glimmer of hope wuth still traditional values and institutions, but neither are exactly paradise.

  2. Weimar is a good analogy. Maybe the French Revolution. I think the most apt might be the people living under the Soviets, with their empty hollowed out lives - we haven't quite reached the insanity of Stalin/Mao thankfully.

  3. I thought China might take advantage of the sit now, but let's face it almost all rulers don't want to rock thr boat, and are fine with exploiting their populace to take nice ski vacations in Switzerland for them and their friends and family.

  4. From what I can gather, yes there are major problems in China. I can unequivocally say the government perceives the threats of social discontent and a self-harming populace seriously - which is also a MAJOR problem for other secular industrialized nations.

  9. Only one of those systems racked up the Ws building a viable civilization over thousands of years, the others just laughably racked up constant Ls in a relatively short time.

  10. Don't forget our legislative body leaders. All of them lifetime public servants (except orange man) with multiple homes and millions of dollars. Not sus at all!

  13. Boomer advice is complete poison. The Kardashians are the insane vision of their ideal world.

  14. People really aren't factoring in the IT revolution, which was akin to the industrial revolution or the invention of the internal combustion engine, and which has fueled our economy for the past few decades - and what happens when you are no longer in a technology revolution.

  15. We live in a boomertopian society.

  17. The Taliban were actually pleading for peace in the Middle East. Screwed up world, especially in the last few years 🤪

  18. It might have been Zeihan, but somebody made a good point that our political parties are undergoing transformations, Repubs are basically becoming the populist worker party and Dems are becoming fully controlled by Neoliberals. That party might even fracture with their more far left.
