Network States

Internet 📈
Indians 📈
China 📈
DC 📉

Those are the four forces on the world as I see them. The Internet, Indians, and China are rising. DC is falling. And America is split between the American Network (rising with the Internet) and the American State (falling with DC).

What factors make you believe the american state is falling?

It’s bankrupt.

The state is making $2-4T a year with $175T in debt. So it’s not actually a rich country. It’s like a guy playing fake rich by maxing out his credit cards.

Default is coming.

The problem is most Westerners don’t viscerally understand how tragic the fate of the East was in the last century.

The bad guys did win, for generations. Communism crushed billions of lives. There were mass wealth seizures and mass murders. And of course communism posed as good, as being for the workers and peasants. But it was really just for the Communist Party.

Right now in the West we have a woke ideology that poses as good. As being for women and minorities. But it’s really just for the Democrat Party. And the violence or BLM, antifa, Hamas is just a preview of what is to come.

Drug addicts will squat in your house. Assets will be seized. Homes burned. Roads blocked. Propaganda will blot out the skies. Already happening, but it’ll escalate.

Blue states in particular are bankrupt. Red states may survive if they break away in time. This is just like what the East suffered last century.

What would you consider the solution to pivot out of this? Assuming it is inevitable that america enters a default crisis, if you had control of the levers of action, what would be the next move?

What makes you believe the American state isn’t failing? 

Our unsustainable yet accelerating $35,000,000,000,000+ debt? 

Maybe it’s the 100% of Democrats 
(90%+ of all registered Democrats in the USA are WOMEN, most of whom should not even be allowed to vote) 
that are constantly brainwashing you &/or are brainwashed themselves? 

How about the corporate oligarchs, the unconstitutional regulatory bodies CREATING LAWS with zero authority, the failed yet still heavily funded government agencies (without exception), the selfish boomers who’ve singlehandedly out-priced housing for an entire generation? 

Or maybe it’s the plethora of 9-figure geriatric politicians who won’t be alive in 15 years but yet somehow are still deciding every choice in government? 

How about the 50 Million ILLEGALS sucking every last dime out of our country’s public services?

If anybody thinks our country is thriving in 2024, YOU are part of the problem.
