The US spent decades telling Europe to trust the transatlantic relationship, then somehow managed to make a literal cable across the Arctic look like the more reliable connection. That’s an impressive achievement in diplomacy: when your allies start routing around you like a network failure.

    Super Intelligence Senile Ineptitude will do that to a country. Behave like a liability and single point of failure means people look to avoid you.

    Calling Trump "senile" downplays the traitorous duplicity.

    At this point, he's done so much shit that "ineptitude" no longer cuts it as a plausible explanation. Occam's razor says he's trying to destroy the US on purpose.

    I would argue it says he's trying to increase his own wealth at any cost. Destroying the US is a byproduct of this behavior, not the intention.

    Yeah probably guided by folks like Peter Thiel and

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

    They’re accelerationists who want the collapse of the United States so they can seize power and turn it into a neofuedalist technocratic state where they are kings

    Dark enlightenment reads like such a fucking joke, then i remember people like Peter thiel actually believes that shit and i despair.

    Its new age mysticism + im 13 and 2edgy4you culture. I can almost smell the stench of stale doritos wafting from that ideology… i have trouble really putting into words just how fucking lame that ‘movement’ is. Its like the brainchild of someone whos only read Ayn Rand & Julius Evola, i mean just how braindead can you actually be and still operate a body my god
