Canada ‘doubling down on globalization’ at odds with U.S. trade goal: Greer

We totally dodged a bullet

I’ve happily shifted almost $40 from my family of six away from the US in the past year. It’s been remarkably awesome. Dog food, a new dishwasher/stove, building materials, celery… the list goes on and on.

This is worse, somehow. I want to see other people as well, but you should still only be with me... but you're too clingy and you constantly want my attention (but you aren't allowed to get attention from elsewhere!!!). Beyond toxic.

The plurality of voters in Michigan chose trump. I’m going to suggest you talk to the other USian hockey parents and try to make sure that doesn’t happen again in 2028.

That's why they're proponents of *accelerationist* policies and the entire political concept of what accelerationism in America ought to look like. Many top tech oligarchs are of the opinion that it's now totally necessary to accelerate and work through some kind of economic plunge, wherein they could somehow remain immune to the social and economic fallout for long enough to then reestablish order through their own fractured and independent little nations - ruled by technological advances that only exist in the universes of science fiction such as Deus Ex Machina and Cyberpunk and whatnot This is completely insane and, while many of us plugged into the Internet regularly already know these kinds of things from watching and reading, there's an entire section of the population that is not so aware and informed as we are. To the vast majority of the regular North American population, machinations on such a grand scale are almost impenetrable and unknowable - many of them just trying to get by and pay next month's rent on time (like us!). The foundation for accelerated decline and depression are already here, thriving and reproducing rapidly. I'm not even sure anyone is really prepared for what the next decade may hold, and it's a damn shame that we are almost powerless to defend against it or prevent it from happening.

It takes a while for that to happen though. America still has a lot of cultural capital in the Anglo-sphere and that can go a long way. Still some might say Britian still hasnt gotten over their loss of super power status. They threw away a ton of their special privileges when Brexiting for no apparent reason.

How do you change an entire populations way of thinking? Most americans are hate fetishist. They've now elected someone who campaigned on hate, twice. I'm a believer that the collective American mind was twisted through social media and propaganda by corporations and billionaires who benefit from the working class fighting each other rather than those at the top. That said, how do you even begin to reverse course when the most important thing to the majority of Americans is that the other side has it worse than they do.

Seen Trumps doctor and his laughable physical reports? If there was a rule like this you'd just get some MAGA shrink proudly presenting Trump with a certificate that says Donald J Trump does not have donkey brains.
