Yeah, I feel you.

If there is ONE thing I can give to Trump, it's that he's preparing the world for it.

He's destroying NATO as it exists, ruining the petrol dollar, destroying the US soft power world-wide. I don't think anyone did more for EV and solar than him the last year...

But yeah, it will be a mess. From my pov, the natural filler would be China. It as pros, it has cons. EU could gain a lot too but I really fear they won't have the wisdom to move away enough to net get caught by the blast.

We'll see I guess ^^

    Will affect the whole world and, of course, people living in the US first.

    I'm not saying that lightly. I live upstairs (Canada) and we would be highly impacted too.

    Yet, I'm persuaded the US empire will and should fall. We need to move away from neo liberalism or we'll simply all die and/or live miserable lives. AI, ecology, war, choose your poison.

    No. Trump is just a symptom .

    We desperately need the US Empire to fall. They lead war all around the world for decades and most conflicts are born from them or our two precedent empires : Russian and English.

    They simply have too much power and absolutely 0 ethic.

    I feel they're mostly better than the books 😐

    Like in the book, Dobby's funeral are a shame. The less sentimental shit I saw in those books. She really sucks at having any other emotion than hate.

    I won't even talk about the last one 😂 The first 2-3 were nice for kids.

    Bernard de Mandeville, 1670 - 1733. First "neo liberal" author and the man that coined the ethicless economy. I was off by 100 years tho 😁

    Not to say everything was perfect and nice before, but he's one of the father of modern capitalism and the first to theorise businesses didn't have to be ethic.

    For him, the virtue of the society would be a guard against the sin of the economy. Like that, businesses could focus on making as much money as possible.

    Of course, it was stupid. Greed and cupidity were not magically contained...
