must be fun for the other societies watching these buffoonish beneficiaries of the bloody and expensive american global hegemony just smashing that hegemony to bits
Ironically probably would've been better if they had been more evil than stupid but it's the other way around. They didn't need to do most of this stuff. They are simply very very stupid
When you're that rich you get bored. Yachts mansions designer drugs, it's not enough. They want epstien islands & saddam palaces & slaves to rape and murder. "Woke" is just civilty, study, progress, science & humanity. All obstacles to their infernal frat party. I'll never understand it.
It honestly would be very funny them handing over the next century to the Chinese if it wasn't for all the death and suffering that's going to come out of it
And to make it worse, once all that soft and economic power is whittled away, people will find so many available scapegoats to blame for it and never look inward.
Did you think history was linear? Did you think the arc of history inevitably bends toward justice? It isn't, and it doesn't. This is a get up everyday and put in the work kind of existence. The mastodons didn't kill themselves to feed the family.
We are the same species that fought cave bears while inventing art. We've built structures that have lasted for thousands of years. We've killed emperors and kings. We've invented ideas like equality and human rights.
It may look like this is history's finale, but that's only because we've been cruising on the deeds of great men and women (especially the boomers). Political unrest is the hand we've been dealt, like many generations before us. It's time to take their lead. Fight, shout, bite. #resist
I have been on Red Note lately, which has given me some insight into some Chinese netizens' opinions of all this.
They are missing a lot of the context surrounding Musk and Trump, but one popular sentiment is "well, it seems like they are probably destroying America. That's good, right?"
gotta be an equal mixture of schadenfreude & dread as we work ourselves up into a froth, knowing that we are likely going to end up taking it out on someone
My education and career amount to a higher-than-average awareness and understanding of how dumb this moment in history is. But I still think some kind of generational lesson/reprieve will come after enough undeniable damage. The biggest fires burn the brightest. My cat doesn't care in the meantime.
They burned everything to get to the end, got there, and still felt empty. So they have to keep burning.

We’re burning the baton instead of passing it, but at least we won’t have it any longer.
