GM. This is a clip from the Espy awards. The Epstein nonsense has even reached normie land. These are signs of a dying empire. What do you think comes next?

Dont assume it means anything more than a means to downplay it all and continue the hopium op aspect of it. They will degrade it into yet another unserious clown show.
That’s my concern. This has turned from a very serious problem into a fucking joke. And I’m not really blaming comedians for meming this. But it’s a sign of a degenerate society.
Normalize, Downplay, and move on. We've failed this test twice before in the States (Catholic Church & Penn State).
No doubt about that
I don't know that the jokes hurt. Memes are one of the most powerful tools we have to spread the word and keep people from forgetting.
They'll never let him go on stage and say "Remember the president is a pedophile" but an Epstein joke reminds everyone that the current US president is a pedophile and has not paid for his crimes.
I agree memes and jokes are great for spreading awareness and not letting people forget
Idk when but the mother of all money prints is coming up. Trump admin is the perfect group of clowns to deal the final blow to the credibility of the USD system.
I can see that. I actually heard a prediction that the system would start to unravel around this time and that Trump being in office is the best option because he controls most of the gun holders.
Personally I feel the system has been unraveling for decades. But it’s accelerating at an accelerating rate now.
For sure. I think the decline started in 08
To me it feels like the Vietnam war was the true start of the decline. That’s when American politicians realized how profitable a pointless forever was.
They used a massive crime against humanity for their own benefit, gaslit the public and world about the cause and necessity of said crime, and it was the event that necessitated going off of the gold standard.
Makes sense. I wasn’t around back then so don’t know too much about what it was like.
History worth knowing. Remember WWII war bond posters?
This is the why to the WTF happened in 1971.
Ages doxxed? I feel like you'll figure it out early 20s or never.
Vietnam holds the distinction of being the war with no war bonds, before Nam bonds were used to fund wars because governments could run out of money. Note the gold depeg was in 1971 as a result of Vietnam War printing being figured out by hostile parties who planned a currency attack.
Age range 😂
The first war without war bonds is a significant milestone
X axis is time, y-axis is reduction in empire’s power. Imo it’s gone something like this:
1) 1965: U.S. becomes fully involved in the Vietnam war under pretext. No war bonds and no congressional approval. Many people realize it’s bullshit and are radicalized. Debt piles up. World is mad.
2) 1971: Vietnam and the Cold War became so expensive that the U.S. far exceeded its gold reserves with synthetic representations of the gold. Peg is destroyed and world leaders know it, soft default to modern fiat system. Tons of goldbugs minted. World more mad.
3) 1990: Persian Gulf war. U.S. playing world police with the clear objective of increased control in the Middle East. After the “war” the United States built a bunch of full scale military bases in the Middle East. Expensive and unpopular empire expansion that created mass blow-back later. World madder.
4) 2001: 9/11. Event that led to fraudulent Iraq and Afghanistan wars, patriot act, and cost 6+ trillion in government spending. Decline started accelerating significantly here.
5) 2008: financial crisis that really turned the USD into a zombie system. Reserve currency network effect and military heft carry enough momentum to keep USD alive for a few more decades. End is in sight.
6) 2020 COVID print: blatant fraud on every level. Kicked off major inflation and hurt credibility of the USD system globally. COVID radicalized millions globally and created ATH in distrust of authority.
7) TBD.
Not sure what will be left after 7 but each x axis event now is gapping up massively on the y axis.
Is next one, the last one?
Seems plausible. But idk. USD system has a crazy Network effect. Maybe two more major prints in the next 10-20 years and it’ll be done as the world reserve system.
Full WWIII or AI take over scenarios aside, I would bet 1 or 2 major crisis in the next decade at most and USD - as the imperialist global reserve currency - kicks the bucket.
I recently wrote a looong article about the history of US and USD decline that's basically the long version of your bullet points. Your summary is definetely more web-reader friendly anyway 😅
AI *existential risk / arms race* money print will dwarf all prior prints
GM, quite a meta joke actually 😂
What do you mean?
He is simultaneously joking about the joke itself, while simultaneously alluding to the subject matter I.e. the Epstein files. It is self referential while alluding to the actual events around the Epstein file. You could also say the joke is a double entendre although that term more commonly applies to "risqué" topics.
meta
/mĕt′ə/
adjective
1) Making or showing awareness of reference to oneself or to the activity that is taking place, especially in an ironic or comic way.
2) Self-referential; at a higher level.
It wasn't a very good joke anyway, the Democrats made it up.
Gm🌞
Wait, Shane Gillis is funny again?
That was actually pretty good. 🤣
He’s been funny 😂
Shane is the best
