    Not to be a doomer, but I don’t really expect it to ever fully recover. I can’t really think of any other times in history when an Empire started to nose-dive like this and managed to fully get back to where it was TBH.

          I usually give my more conservative upper limits on these types of things. Frankly I think all the powder is already in the keg and we’re just waiting for a spark to send it off.

          While that may be true for some I think most of them are just stupid, actually correction all of them are stupid since if the US collapses it’ll most likely nuke a lot of their wealth and a lot of their plans will go down with the ship, note im directly thinking of the stupid ass network city state thing that fuckwits like Thiel dragged out of the drug fueled delirium these morons seem to reside in.

            Some of the very wealthy hope to live in some weird version of The Sovereign Individual authors’ vision and/or Curtis Yarvin’s.

            With or without (extreme) wealth, if their vision were to really come to pass, I’m quite sure it might not end up the way they imagine.
