    I understand the argument about Trump and all of his class allies using this period to loot what is left and consolidate control but I don’t buy that they are deliberately destroying the imperial institutions that took centuries and oceans of blood to build and maintain.

    I don’t think they want to forfeit the US dollar’s “exorbitant privilege” yet it is rapidly slipping away. I know for an absolute fact that they are howling with rage at the rapprochement between India and China. Do you think as I do that the empire is hurtling towards hyperinflation and a sovereign debt crisis? If so, how would that give the imperial elites more power?

    I think maybe what will save the USA from getting to gas chambers and roving death squads (if that’s how it plays out) is that all of this flooding the zone and accelerationism that they are doing to overwhelm the opposition and the media is also overwhelming their own ability to respond.

    He wants to force the South Koreans into an unequal treaty but the deportation ramp up and lack of interagency coordination handed them a perfect reason to stall. He wants to ramp up weapon production but the trade war has choked off the defense industry’s access to rare earths and other manufacturing inputs. He wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza and turn a profit on it but he keeps getting distracted by NATO very obviously losing the war in Ukraine. He wants a strong dollar and low interest rates, which are well known to be economic opposites. They barely even got any juice out of Charlie Kirk, and we all saw how hard they tried to wring it from his still-warm corpse
