It's all good. I just needed to read that to understand your points here

Look how much embodied labor the countries outside the imperial core are losing(bottom right). China is the largest contribution, but they are getting out of this. US wants to stop that and keep the flow going. Other countries can't replace this. They are already paying tribute themselves. Once it's over, it's over.

Which I agree with. I just think that starting a war with China to reverse this trend is kind of insane right. And with other countries not being able to replace this its almost like the west would want China to willingly be the modern India to the British empire.

Your points about moving capital not being a simple thing and was functioning as a profit generator are true. No argument from me there. But there are so many factors at plwy and I can't prove it but I think the deciding factor is racism and the need for white western countries to maintain white privilege. There is a deep paranoia there and nothing is clearer than the treatment of African Americans by the fucking Americans. Like I know you know as much or more about slavery than me. But imagine that the current discourse in mainstream politics is not even about reparations but actually further emiseration of African Americans. This is a deeply racist and sick society. Europe too with their Arab migrants. Destroy the middle east and villify the people fleeing their homes because of your actions. Maybe im doing an Occam's razor meme here but I do think that western countries would rather die trying to maintain their superiority than being equals in a new system. And controlling the population seems way too easy for right wingers (eg hate migrants/LGBTQ as opposed to your landlord enslaving you). So even if the population of these countries is not that racist they can easily be made racist due to dog whistles and the emiseration caused by the ruling clas themselves. Anyway I'm starting to ramble. But this got me thinking
