6 states siding against a supreme court decision to deny access to federal authorities seems big, if thats happened in my lifetime I've not heard of it before

This is just the equivalent of rich kids who live off their parents’ wealth throwing tantrum. At the end of the day, nobody dares to cut ties from the family wealth. Sure, some might be crazy enough to do it, but most of the time it doesn’t end well for them.
No country is ever going to give up the dollar just to trade with Texas. Literally nobody. This is how the US impose its sanctions and embargo against Cuba and all the Bad Countries.
What if Texas joins BRICS?
BRICS Bank Aims to Increase Local-Currency Borrowing to 30%
No shot. Everyone’s dragging their feet about de-dollarization at BRICS. My biggest disappointment of 2023, after all the encouraging talks about doing it during the 2022 summit.
I gotta be honest, nothing has made me despise dollar hegemony like your posting. Truly removed the blinders I had that had me coping re: BRICS
As you should. I try to raise awareness about how dangerous the dollar can be because too many people think that the US empire is on the brink of collapse just because it is losing a few wars currently, forgetting that the US has lost near every war since 1945 except maybe for the 1991 Gulf War and still managed to dominate the world like nothing has happened.
Accurate materialist analysis is anathema and antithetical to Western mindsets, even those with slightly wider lenses
Messin with Texas
I see what you mean
fwiw I don't think it's happening anytime soon, but crises such as these repeating (growing larger each time) plus the US' power globally declining = after a few decades, probably balkanisation, sure
If the dollar loses its hegemony status, then likely. But it’s going to be a while away, probably decades like you said.
