higher prices, and supply issues. Maybe the odd disease?

That’s what I meant by struggles

You make it sound like the US will be completely erased from existence, that’s not how reality works, countries don’t just disappear, they change and sometimes into multiple smaller countries but they’re the same people and I think that’s the most important defining factor of a country.

I agree that such a change will have a negative short term impact but if everybody goes to protests, apply civil disobedience and maybe a general strike the risk of violence goes way the fuck down and the only dangers are the ones from lack of resources and rapid spread of illness but these will be fixed long term

China could have stopped the war in Ukraine at any time by not giving Russia electronics and equipment

They want Europe to feel threatened so that we come to them for help where they can put on the mask of protector when in reality they want to turn the entire world in the dystopian shitshow they have in China

There will be some struggles but nobody is going down, there is a big difference between trying to overthrow a government and actually doing it

Good luck ever defining positive and negative or quantifying them

Most people think that someone telling them the reality(objectively and calmly) that directly affects them is a negative thing because they willingly choose to live in an illusion and then act shocked and appalled when something truly negative happens although they’re fully aware they could have prevented it

Although game theory is a very useful tool the input that you use has little to no connection with reality which make the results close to fiction

Feel free to reply with something “positive” to “prove” your point but keep in mind it’s almost all in your head, 99% placebo

It’s hard to grow a resistance when you simultaneously believe the simple folk are getting exactly what they deserve and asked for.

It really shouldn’t be since that’s just the beginning, they’ll be coming for everyone that says a single negative thing about the king and his cronies.
