”REALITY PRECEDES PROSPERITY
I think we agree on one point and disagree on two points.
THE BUKELE ANTIBODIES
1) First, yes, force alone is not the recipe for an ailing country. Ultimately you need community. Latin America suffered from generations of drug dealing and money printing. So now they have developed antibodies in the form of crime prevention and Bitcoin adoption. And Bukele is the incarnation of those antibodies. But society basically has to be ready to turn around before a Bukele can appear. He can wield force against the 1.6% of criminals because he has much of the 98.4% of non-criminals on his side.
I saw this in India as well, after generations of socialism. And in Vietnam, after generations of communism. Those societies finally had the antibodies to fight off the mind viruses that had brought them low. Of course, many societies just succumb. Is Cambodia mounting a comeback anytime soon? Or North Korea, or Cuba? Not really.
This is also the problem in the US. Many in the US have yet to even acknowledge it's declining. Many Democrats are Stalinist Bidenists, whose monthly checks are dependent on mouthing the party line. And many Republicans have replaced G-o-d with G-o-v. They see the US military as a god replacement, in its stern father form, and can't bring themselves to admit the country ain't what it was. They're Soviet conservatives, patriotic to a fault, saluting the worst because they've captured the flag.
I don't think this is true for everyone — people like @realchrisrufo and @davereaboi know what time it is — but it's true for too many. If you still think, like Biden recently said, that his empire is still "the most powerful country in the history of the world" and that it just isn't trying or is like one election away from being fixed — you are wrong in a deep way.
The values that underpin the valuations have been broken. The current society is coasting on fumes. Fixing this is at least a generational rebuild. It's not something one vote will solve.
IT'S NOT RICH
2) We also disagree that the US is a rich country. It has a fake economy, built on debt, with exponentially increasing interest payments, that doesn't have much runway left, and doesn't have factories to fall back on when the money printing stops.
For example:
^ Why are interest payments suddenly spiking? Because the bill for QE is coming due. Either die by high inflation or high rates. Or both.
^ Why is the country issuing debt at emergency levels, without acknowledging it's an emergency? Because that's the only thing that can keep this fake economy afloat through the 2024 election.
^ Why is China the world's #1 trade partner on just about every physical good? Because the US only exports (a) printed money and (b) technology. Anyway, I could keep going, with literally dozens of graphs like this. But X only allows four per post.
IT'S NOT STABLE
3) On the topic of whether it's a country with a "turbulent history of...violence", the level of drug addiction, violent crime, homeless encampments, squatters, road blockages, and massive BLM/Hamas mobs swarming the streets has obviously spiked in recent years.
2020 didn't represent a one-off, it's a preview of what is to come, particularly in Blue America. Crime statistics are systematically faked — in San Francisco, you can actually see some dashboards where things like car ticketing have gone to zero — so we don't have an accurate picture.
Until you see undeniable things like stores closing and people moving out of blue states. And then blue politicians yell at those companies, and try to stop them from moving out. This is systematic: blues always disable the warning lights that tell you we're crashing into the ground, just like the mortgages labeled AAA in 2008, just as a mosquito anesthetizes you before drinking your blood, just as a snake evolves to employ camouflage before it strikes. Alongside lawfare, faking the stats is a core competency of both communist reds and woke blues.
TLDR: I think we just have very different mental models of the prosperity and stability of today's United States. Wokeness is hegemonic and the damage is deep. I wish it weren't so — but agreeing on reality precedes prosperity”. 
Thanks!
I suppose there will be a natural evolution towards this, forced by the existence of bitcoin. Exactly what the next step is I have no clue of!
What do you think?
The big difference compared to periods before is the emergence of bitcoin. Money that cannot be printed out of thin air, cannot be manipulated by the authorities and their never-ending narcissistic desire to control and exploit populations and bribe them with their own money. When the money runs out, new money is printed for new grand projects; "research", "sustainable energy", "healthcare", "pensions" and, the cherry on top, "wars to preserve peace".
We are early in the process, but the fact is that Bitcoin undermines this type of narcissistic psychopathic, oversized state formations.A state should only be concerned with protecting life, limb, and property. Everything else is only there to gradually increase the size of the state.
The state should be STATIC. To manage it competently, no elections are needed! It needs to generate revenue and this can be done by imposing a low, semi-fixed tax rate that can ONLY move downwards, never upwards. When money is lacking, bureaucracy should be cut.
No research, no healthcare, no pensions, no public transportation, etc. should be managed by this state.
These are radical ideas, but they are radical not because they are crazy or divorced from a possible reality, but because they are foreign. We have been brainwashed from childhood 🤷.
It is not dead.
That illustrates so many things. 1. They are liars. 2. They are hypocrites. 3. They are lying commie hypocrites. 4. They hate you. 5. We hate them
😅
Trump just violated the gag order and dares the corrupt activist hack judge to put him in jail.
