I just don't know how serious Trump is about annexing Canada. Part of me says "that will never happen", and the other part of me thinks there is someone out there saying "hold my beer!"

For all I know, it has already been decided. These kind of things tend to be figured out well before the common man is apprised of the outcome.

And why not take on Mexico as well? Keep going, maybe take a rest in Panama. Would be interesting to see the entire north american continent operate under a single government. Would fix some border issues, maybe.

Could it be necessary to suffer the coalescence under a larger state to allow it to fully fail so we can become post-statist?

I'm not really an anarchist. But I'm not really a statist either. At times I could see myself as libertarian, but there are flaws there too that can't be avoided. I think I may be a tribalist, but the tribe is itself hard to define, and to operate properly, must be kept small. Democracy isn't optimal, by any means.

I'm starting to go down some darker paths with the issues of overpopulation, if we need some kind of cull, etc.

Just the meanderings of a curious mind.

Canada is awesome and Mexicans are amazing people. This would be so wild. How would this even begin to work. I think this is Just something crazy to make people talk and distract us from other shit they are doing. 🤷🏼

I agree. The "other shit" factor is sure to be wild as well. Most of what I was spitballing would fall into that "other shit" designation. Maybe North Americana shits the bed and ends up being colonized by China. I've figured a Chinese takeover of the US would resemble a corporate merger rather than a military action. China has similar hooks in Canada, I believe. We could become the north american division of China Inc.

Somewhere in this mess it would be nice if some people would modernize to the point where they no longer need to drop bombs or even take military action. It is pretty damn pointless, aside from propping up certain economies.

Drones should make human combatants obsolete. Any attack would be on infrastructure or civilians.

Again, all this collapses into dystopia at some point. It is hard to even dare to imagine a wonderful future, even with bitcoin holding out a glimmer of hope.

And this is why it is so critical to create a wonderful present, where each day is the best you could hope for. Thrive. Not for the future, but for now. Store up these good times, we'll need them during the hard times, and we'll store up good times then as well. I think that is the best meaning of stay humble, stack sats.

And Mexicans are amazing people! Actually, people are all amazing everywhere, and everyone is just trying to make the best of their existence.

People are amazing everywhere when you get to know the real people. Not the people looking to take something from you. Sad a few shitheads ruin everything for all of us. 😑
