    It’s rather humorous that the entirety of the crisis of the age is the marxist influence on first progressivism, then feminism, the postmodern, and race marxism, all of which made use of the vulnerability of women to false promises and utopias that promise consumption and non-regulation of emotion impulse attention seeking and consumption, and hypergamy, as a means of evading responsibility and encouraging others to equally evade responsibility.
    For some reason it’s incomprehensible to women that their bias to empathizing and hyperconsumption, risk evasion by responsibility evasion are instincts necessary for the provision of rug rats, and the high probability that men will be killed in hunting, conflict, or war over control of resources of which women are but one.
    So we are seeing the ‘re-wilding’ of women at the same time as we have seen the greatest suppression of male antisocial behavior, wither violence, or crime, or even antisocial behavior than we have ever seen in human history.

    Gold is being driven by inflation (like everything else), in an effort to hedge against the coming correction (as usual). It’s getting almost impossible to protect asset value except by seeking momentum in financial markets in order to stave off losses. That capacity to do so is and will continue to evaporate.

    I’ve been surprised the tech sector prolonged the illusion as long as it has, when the rest of the economy without that sector looks pretty depressing. As someone who built tech companies, I’m glad I made my money in tech when I did. 😉

    Q: CURT: ~~”Predictions of the Future?”~~

    I’ve been saying since about 2004 that I have a very clear picture of the world until 2020 but after that I have no idea what’s on the other side. Because it will be determined by the noise (chaos) of the rapid adjustment of populations economies power, and cultural ambitions as the end of endless growth and comparative advantage return us to a semi state of equality similar to the agrarian age, which we haven’t seen in six hundred. years.

    So while I can enumerate a spectrum of possibilities I think at present the calculus consists of who collapses first: the russia-iran-china axis and attempted restoration of empires, or the american-european attempt to create nation states with europe (france really) foolishly trying to create another america and america devolving as was originally intended into a continent of culturally different nation states (or collections thereof).

    If the USA has an internal conflict first, then I would expect the world to explode very rapidly, and risk to increase beyond comprehension. If the world confict launches first it might suppress internal USA conflict. However there is no chance that our government or the world, or the world’s perception of itself and its future looks anything like the 20th.

    We are learning that our utopian dreams were childish ambitions and a folly no matter which point of the political triangle we advocated.

    I orginally thought that the USA would ‘correct’ before the rest of the world seized the opportunity to restore their imperial ambitions. And that’s in part because I assumed the rest of the world understood the consequence of the end of the anglo order.

    But apparently not.

    So… All I know at present is that we’re going to have a very bad ‘decade’ – like the seventies – and possibly. more (like japan) but ‘we’re in new territory’. we have no economic model for the future we’re entering other than the post-roman return to the farms. And that’s pretty scary.

    Ok. I’m off a call.
    A less quick answer.
    There are no examples in history where these circumstances exist that has not led to internal conflict.
    There are no examples in history where these external conditions haven’t lead to external conflict.
    Pick which one you think will happen first.
    If the external happens first it will delay the internal.
    If the internal happens first it will immediately cause the external.
    The civil war in the USA will likely be an incremental escalation of local violence to a patter of violence to a breakdown in transport, trade, communications, and government.
    I have worked on this problem for a very long time.
    The dates vary but by 2032 it’s almost a certainty.
    How long, how serious, and what happens after is all random.

    Q: CURT: “WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE WORLD AFFAIRS?”
    I would need a more specific question otherwise the answer might not interest you. In general the industrial revolution was quite powerful, the first world wars ended the monarchies, and the second ended the empires. The Americans did not finish off the chinese communists or the Russian communists, so the Americans left two groups seeking to preserve empires. Western technological advantage has been mediated by global trade. Americans can no longer afford to police the world pattern of finance and trade, so the three civilizational empires are seeking restoration: Russia, China, and Iran as a caliphate. These three groups are harmful to their people but they have maintained enough power, that they see an opportunity for expansion as the USA withdraws and europe’s population collapses along with their economies. At the same time the success of the postwar neo-marxists has succeeded in sewing discord in western countries -particularly the USA, that in the absence of monarchies has no means of repressing those seditions. As such the world is returning to a conflict of civilizations, a decline in trade routes, a decline in globalism, and a rather scary decline in world standards of living. The USA is very close to a civil war which we should expect by 2032, and the only question is whether that civil war or a world war happens first. Which will be the end of empires as a continuation of the unfinished world wars, or the end of nation states, national sovereignty, human rights, free trade, and the western production of the current state of prosperity.

    Everything else happening in the world is just ‘noise’ as that process proceeds to it’s deterministic conclusion.

    INCENTIVES: THE FIRST WORLD WAR’S PROPONENTS

    Strategic Intersets
    The proponents feared that if the Allies were defeated, the balance of power in Europe would shift in favor of the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire). This shift could threaten U.S. interests and influence globally. By supporting the Allies, the U.S. could help shape the post-war world order in a way that favored democratic values and American strategic interests​​.

    Economic Interests
    Financial Stakes: American businesses and banks had significant financial investments in the success of the Allied powers. The U.S. had extended large loans to Britain and France, and the victory of these countries was crucial for ensuring the repayment of these loans. A defeat of the Allies would likely result in financial losses for American investors and could have severe economic repercussions domestically​ (History Hit)​.
    Trade and Commerce: The war had already disrupted international trade routes, and American businesses were concerned about the long-term impacts on global trade. By entering the war, the U.S. could protect its commercial interests and ensure that it remained a dominant player in international trade after the war
