    Where do they think they'e going to go when their own country is bankrupt? Fart around in Scandinavia? Build a micronation somewhere in the Pacific? Attempt to build a moon colony? They don't get to flee consequences forever.

        And what, are we in the "end of history"? Nothing can change forever? America is only a few centuries old, we have no idea how long a long period of time looks like. Sparta was a self-consuming failure of a military dictatorship and it still lasted longer than America. Capital will die, and we will watch while it happens.

            Unfortunately? When the bread and circuses can't cover up the pain anymore. The incoming end of the US dollar as global currency might just do it.

              The people that rule us are mostly fincial capitalists, so their lich phylactory is tied up in dollar hegemony they haven't existed in a time and place outside of that way of solving every crisis to capital. Big stuff is happening, I reckon they will be maulding in a gulag 20-30 years ago about how Ukraine war ruined everything.
