It's also the end of the world seeing the United States of America as a credible national partner on anything in the future.
Yeah, this is something that Trump and his current band of idiots can't understand.
Soft power has given the US far, far, far more influence in the world than the combined military campaigns throughout the time the the US has existed.
It will take centuries to repair the dammage the Trump regime has caused the US, and I mean centuries of hard, focused work, slowly rebuilding trust, spending a LOT of money on rebuilding protections.
They understand. But they also see the US' soft power fading. China has essential manufacturing the US is basically dependent on. BRICS in general is getting more powerful. The harm that capitalism and the US especially has caused to this planet is coming due and people are looking for something else that will not lead to disaster.
Trumpism is a desperate final bid by the US elite to retake control over the world, or at least the US. They want to use AI to replace labor, police, and military. They want to commit genocide to free up resources for themselves. They are betting everything on the next couple years.
Or we could abolish borders save lots of work not be evil
I'd rather not have a single world government.
So let's get rid of the governments with the borders I like that idea
I am not a big believer in that concept, I believe we need governments for our nations, governments that cater out the nations's dedicated needs
as a transitional step to anarchy?
Why would I want anarchy?
for mankind to stop using our collective powers to fight each other in self-made conflicts over fiat currency, and direct our efforts to curing death, spacefaring and becoming guardians of ecosystems rather than pillagers. https://files.catbox.moe/mi41sy.epub
Not having anyone coercing you or telling you what to do except 'would make me happy' or 'how to properly set a bone' not having to tell anyone else what to do general egalitarianism and being able to work for the benefit of all humanity just as much as you want to and then fuck off to a weeklong wank coma or cutting lumber for people to build houses with or playing music or hitting rocks with other rocks or whatever the fuck it is you get up to working with others feels really amazing when there's jot bosses and rent and bullshit involved you should try it sometime its kindof the best
Centuries? Germany was mostly forgiven after decades.
Why are you talking about forgiveness?
I spoke about trust.
These are completely different
Very well, Germany was mostly trusted after decades.
Sort of yeah, though there was the war crimes trial putting a at least symbolic end to the Nazis.
Also there were reforms to stop that shit from happening again.
Until we see something similar there won't be a specific turning point, making trust harder to come by.
If no reforms are put in place to prevent a regime like this from coming to power again, why should the rest of the world trust the US?
If the US abolishes FPTP completely, which it won't, then the timeline to trust will be accellerated.
Absolutely, reforms would have to start first. But the way you phrased it made it sound like it would take centuries after reforms were started, which is very unlikely.
The US losing a massive amount of soft power that will never be recovered, though, that's extremely likely.
Ah, my point was that even if the US starts reversing everything that Trump has done (won't happen), without actual reforms, trust will take a long, long time to be reestablished.
I think the corruption of the empire in the midst of the rise of the global South and the dissemination of information means that America can no longer dictate policies around the world (else we coup, bomb or destabilise you) without consequence, and that the narratives around America, which basically turned the world's rapist and murderer into a hero or something (nothing new, just the new head of Western civilization, after the UK, France and Germany bombed each other into irrelevance), are quickly being destroyed by reality.
Of course, most of the world understood this inherently because they were Western victims, but heads of state (and everyone under them in the power structure, including media companies) had to acquiesce or else... now, not so much.
