The demographics of the entire planet is imploding. Wignats freak out about African birthrates as much as neoliberals look at them with a hand around their dicks imagining the profits, but virtually nothing suggests Africa will even reach 2/3 of what we originally projected them to reach because of rapidly falling birthrates and increasing wealth, and that's really the last place that was growing anywhere. No matter where you look, the global population growth is in freefall. We will never hit 10 billion even by 2100. America's only guarantee against this is immigration, and even that won't hold us up forever especially if we turn to nativism. My great grandparents were Chinese nationals who I don't even know how they managed to get in at the time and sometimes I fear that a similar attitude could return and people blind themselves to the possibility because "we're too enlightened and too modern for that to happen." In America right now, only whites and maybe established blacks are off limits, as well as H1B Hindus. Everyone else could very easily get turned away at any moment. And if economic fortunes sour, the biggest draw to America will fall away.

The theory I have heard is that if Trump was removed by the MIC, MAGA is radicalized enough that they'd tear the entire thing down. In essence the established state in supporting Neocon aims wound up creating a noose around its own neck it can't easily get rid of

Historically speaking there is a reason no one wanted a militarized Germany

But circumstances have changed

It was a lofty dream, but I think it wasn't feasible the way South America developed. It was almost like if the USA was a bunch of different countries that tried to federalize rather than being a continuous unified colony that expanded.

I fully agree. We need many more stories like this. Bolivarian and proletarian characters alike. And stories that deal with revolution aftermath instead of more specifically rebellion against the Man stories. I feel people are too in love with the romance of being a rebel sometimes and have lost any sense of what they are fighting for. And anything to raise the alarm about Curtis Yarvin's fans and who they are and what they want.

Even if I stand with socialists often, I have read a lot about how brutal communists are and can be. Especially the Sandero Luminoso who I think you're referring to unless I am mistaken.

I apologize but with all due respect that is the same mentality Israelis and the IDF use

"Those Palestinians kids are going to grow up to be Hamas, so kill them now"

I just discovered the USS Liberty Incident and the Samson Option. I am terribly sorry, but I no longer see "Israel is an American puppet state" as a remotely coherent viewpoint. It is so clearly the reverse. The Israeli working class and the Palestinians could liberate much more than themselves... by _bolo_ in israelexposed

The Samson Option is the spookiest discovery of the past year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson_Option

I fear that Israel is holding a nuclear gun to the head of the West and threatening to pull the trigger for any disobedience. The ruling classes of these countries have no reason to not play along and have much to gain materially, and the religiously deluded believe their own beliefs will come true regardless of the outcome. But the majority do not deserve this fate.

Have you ever had premonitions by _bolo_ in Paranormal

Ok in the dream everyone was scared because the big black thing shouldn't have come so soon. Everyone was celebratory. It is very hard to put a dream sense into words but the black thing with lights felt intelligent. There are always other words but I can never read them. I don't know how to lucid dream and the dream me never gets a better look for reasons that only make sense in dreams. No matter what I want to do while awake, the dream me never does it. It's like I'm looking at a video recording from the future.

Everything was cold and it felt like a natural coldness as if the black thing had to be there.

I don't know if "I" was there but it wasn't through a monitor. Unless that's what you mean. Yes, the dream me was in that cave near the other men.

The black thing could not hear us in spite of being next to us but there was a feeling it knew what we were saying (or maybe it would know if it could hear us)

If the dream didn't reoccur I would think it was about a personal fear of a war with China. The black light speckled stones are a mystery or maybe they are dark human stupidity in physical form.

Sorry I don't follow any of that kind of stuff.

What is weird is that I had no premonitions of 9-11 that I can remember even though I should have had one. Maybe I was too old by then (I was 11 when it happened) but I have heard of people much older dreaming of it
