    I know. The world is going to change. A lot. Like “post-WW2” a lot. The show isn’t over but it’ll never look the same.

    China will be the global superpower and they’re all about that face/reputation. Taiwan is an absolute goner and corporations will be very careful about public statements. The US is gonna look like Putin’s Russia: strong men promising a return to the glory days but that’s a mathematical impossibility.

    Europe will probably look normal? Laid back and still enjoying their retirement from colonialism and starting world wars.

      Europe is following the us sadly. Technofeudalism. With tools past tyrants could not dream of.

      But, at some point a true leader will emerge in the West and lay waste to the oligarchy, as sure that as sprimg coming.

        yeah some of the scariest things to me is I feel europe, canada, austrailia, etc are like just a few steps behind the us and sometimes they are holding the line but the right is pushing like crazy.

          Europe, and especially the uk, is ahead of the US in selling out the population to tech companies I am afraid. You see, the problem is the population is dumb as shit. The opposition to Tech is disunited by Design. Until we organize we are fucked and capital letters.
