This isn’t an opinion, it is a fact. The other two major global powers are China and Russia. You can possibly make the argument for the EU as well but good-luck… As it stands Russia is a rusted country with dated technology and a lack of innovation. They’ve been spiraling downwards since roughly the Cold War. The situation with Ukraine should ease minds about any future possibility of global Russian supremacy. For starters their population is in trouble and they’ve killed off way too many military aged men in this recent war. Russian wouldn’t even be able to reclaim the Soviet Union, let alone handle any prolonged global conflicts. China is among the biggest catfishes of history. Anyone who has paid close attention to China for the past decade or two understands how truly fucked they are. Actually China is basically doing what China has always done. Which is giant population swings and the consequences which follow. Right now their bet is going all in on robotics because their population collapse will be something the world has never seen. Socially and affordability is a monstrous issue there as well, which will only make the birth rate worse. Robotics is a race they certainly cannot win and their economy is already showing major cracks. People also underestimate the competency needed to be THE global super power. China has never been in that position, frankly they’ve never even been in massive conflicts in modern warfare. Geographically it is also a mess for them, they’re still locked up pretty well but regardless they’re also simply in no position to replace the U.S. Any sensible person should want the U.S to win, it’s objectively the best thing for the world as it stands. But even that is clearly not going to last much longer. They’ve lost control of the world, massively reduced military abroad and are posturing for a more and more self preservation stance. Boomers across the globe basically looted and max extracted everything they could without much thought for the future. And as much as they fucked things up, I also don’t think people are prepared for the mess we will inherent once they’re gone. Although they were extremely selfish, they still managed to keep things running and I’m not very confident in our ability to handle the transition once they’re gone. Which is soon. My opinion is that within my lifetime we will see a domino effect of country collapses. It’ll start with a western country, at which point either there is a lag or immediate panic but it doesn’t really matter because the end result is inevitable. The Keynesian system was always a ticking time bomb and the expedited printing brought on by the boomers in control only shortened the fuze. This debt economy is going to bust and it’s a matter of time. What happens next is anyone’s guess but I think the sheer amount of chaos is something the modern individual isn’t prepared for. The current western demographics and tribalism on display is nothing, it’ll be hell on earth and the nations which will fair best are those who remained homogeneous. Community is the name of the game moving forward.

This is quite literal a definitional form of ethnic cleansing through migration replacement. And it’s actively been promoted and sanctioned by your own government. Western governments actively hate you. They want your small towns to be completely unrecognizable. No more.

Majority of the worlds issues boil down into older people simply not comprehending the sheer lengths people will go to abuse the system. They simply cannot comprehend how different these people are, they cannot comprehend the world they knew is gone. Oh, and yes, you ban them.

Weekend war is back on the menu. Nothing has changed, nothing.

Oil market every single day for the past 6 months.

It is evidently clear that once the boomers are gone, we will not be able to maintain the current system. Simply because the inheritors of societies engineers have been systematically destroyed. The quality of people who built the west do not currently exist. Good luck.

I’m genuinely sick to my stomach with how much blatant corruption there is in these markets. Energy has really changed my entire perspective on everything. It’s all so tiresome, nothing will ever happen to these people either.

I don't want to be that guy, but this is something I've been screaming about for a decade or so. At this rate it is inevitable, and the worst part is it'll be a slow death. This is death by a thousand cuts, everything you love and appreciate will erode and be looted away.
