I mean, let's just drop allllll the pretenses here and call a spade a spade. We're speedrunning both imperial decline and final act of the death of the republic. That means that what's happening now isn't so much the end of things taking shape; that dye was cast arguably as far back as neoconservatism and the death of the Soviet Union. No, what's being shaped now is what comes next, and so far, it's looking like a freak hybrid between neo-feudalism and neo-mercantilism, leaning more towards mercantilism imo, with a whole new nobility class formed purely off the basis of who holds the money and the assets right now. I mean, this should and would never be allowable under the republic, but the republic is dead and they're just doing a little puppeteering with the corpse at the moment, while it's handy to do so.

Let me be totally unambiguous here: the republic is dead, there is no going back. Even if we have elections again (lol, lmao) and even if they swing super hard left and even if we get a bunch of Democrats who are serious and result-oriented, and even if those Democrats actually do want to surrender the tools of fascism (unlike their predecessors), it's going to take decades to walk back the damage. Before anyone will be able to feel the results of the course reversal, people are just going to get pissed and vote the next batch of right wing assholes in who'll finish the job. The wounds are too deep, too grievous, and our political establishment is too captured and lacking in vision and intestinal fortitude. The republic is already gone in all but name, and what's coming next will ensure that the people who sponsored it death are enshrined at the center.

If that's not the world you want to live in, then you need to start networking at a local level, working with likeminded people across your local and state, and probably start working on secession movements. We're going to have a very narrow window between the death of the empire and the birth of the monarchy to determine what kind of world our children inherit, don't let it slip past. Get out there, go to city council and county supervisor meetings, join secession initiatives, get active and start seeking people out and networking. If we work together, we can at least forge a better tomorrow than what Zuck and Bezos have planned for us.
