Just watched this really interesting video about the fall of the American Empire. TLDR China is winning, and American leaders might just bomb them.

But what I thought was interesting was his analysis of the Civil war as a war between two economic systems. Capitalism in the North defeated the rural South and by freeing the slaves they stole their income.

So when my white neighbors see me, are they thinking," I should own you?"

" "Today’s assessment from the World Meteorological Organization is clear:
Global heating is a cold, hard fact,"
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said in a statement.
"There's still time to avoid the worst of climate catastrophe. But leaders must act
– now."

The planet's average temperature in 2024 was 1.6 degrees Celsius higher than in the 1850-1900 pre-industrial period, C3S said.
The last 10 years have all been in the top 10 hottest years on record, according to the World Meteorological Organization. "

OK, prediction time 🧵: The commercial internet as we know it, which basically started with Amazon, ends within the next 5-10 years, tops.

Right now a lot of people think in crisis terms, like real-world crisis; the streets are flooded but we have to get by somehow. Soon, however, there'll be a surge of realization that the commercial internet is something we can just... leave. Do without. It was never more than merely convenient.

Continued thread

My #prediction is that he tries to use Congress or executive orders to amend the constitutions to remove or alter term limits.

The courts will stop it.

And then SCOTUS will throw it out. And America will be dead. Millions of lives who worked to make democracy better will all have been wasted because one man, suffering from syphilis with a rotting brain captured the hearts of minds of millions of morons and his fragile ego could not take being a loser or being cuckolded by President Obama.
