Well my ideal detailed position would include dismantling of NATO, expulsion of American troops from all places that are not American territory. Dismantling of the petro dollar and USD led international payments system.

Ideally I'd also want all corporations with revenue over €10M to be coops or nationalised in case of infrastructure (this includes cloud) companies, and incentivisation of unions. And require all international companies to pay their full taxes in every country they operate. Also capping CEO pay, wealth and inheritance taxes etc. This is not US specific but I believe large part of American imperialism is through their corporations.

And how does republicans winning make any of this happen? That's what started this conversation, your assertion that republicans are better because whatever it is you want to happen is somehow more likely to happen with republicans. How, exactly? And again, given the fascist republican platform, how does this happen without mass casualties?

A lot of the things in the first part were already happening under Trump. Nato has been weakening, US losing credibility as a trade partner, Europe refusing to fight with US in Iran, trade in currencies other than USD increasing.

Now you tell me exactly how you think there will be mass casualties from US losing it's position as a hegemon. What mechanisms will cause these millions of deaths?

No, actually finish your answer before deflecting again. This is getting ridiculous.

That was it. Now you go ahead and tell me what will cause the millions of deaths.

And we're back to you being deliberately obtuse. Hopefully you're a troll and aren't actually this dumb.

I'm refusing to continue engaging with someone whose baffling intellect seems to think societal collapse occurs without death. You're a shitty troll and a waste of time.

Ok, great. How does any of that happen without global destabilization and mass death? Is there any evidence to support that such a thing could occur?
