    What plan? Democrats and Republicans are just two different interfaces for a single government cast of the USA owners. They don’t care. They won’t be fired or something. Democrats will continue to get high position roles. All is good for them.

    It is bad only for you, common American peon.

      If you think the collapse of the American government is only bad for America, that’s a dumb take. Surely the oligarchy is to blame.

      The plan to take it down was in place for a long time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics

      But it will definitely harm millions of non-americans, and empower far-right groups globally, and likely ignite WWIII, perhaps before or after an internal civil war.

        I don’t understand the idea that the global super power collapsing will only be bad for the citizens and the neighbors that I have seen some people say. Unless China/the EU steps up right now millions will starve in developing nations and 100s of thousands more will die from preventable diseases.

        Government spending is a lot of countries is going to have to be taken out of other programs to strengthen lacking military power and kick start their own R&D efforts.

        Global oil prices will rise since it will basically become a complete monopoly. And many countries that have lent money to the US will likely suffer as well besides that economically.

          millions will starve in developing nations and 100s of thousands more will die from preventable diseases.

          It’s also literally in-line with the faux-left accelerationists’ dogma:

          Phase 1 - Make the world worse by helping the far-Right take over governments. This will lead to increased suffering domestically and internationally. Phase 2 - ? Phase 3 - Working class solidarity and uprising resulting in socialist utopia.

          (Phase 2, historically, likely involves either a few centuries of oppression, and/or global armed conflict and genocide, but that’s a sacrifice that they’re willing to make.)
