General collapse of the American economy due to AI and the “everything bubble”. Though I could see this maybe accelerating an industrialization push if the timing is right.
From what I’ve read recently, they’re pushing data centers to many countries at the same time. So it goes along xhs thesis about expanding FDI making other markets captive to US interests.
I think the other points are a bit optimistic. But point 6 seems to always be underestimated whether catastrophic weather phenomena or pandemics.
Point 7 is interesting because the factions within the trump admin are often in opposition in methods and outcomes. So the incompetence and the hubris can lead to failures in their goals.
I do think that corporate sway over policy which may contradict admin, social breakdown due to pullback of welfare and basic services, and internal political fracturing and strife within the US are more wildcards that could radically change outcomes.
This is a great point. Private corporations hold a lot of control over the US state proper, which could undermine the state’s functional purpose of managing the common bourgeois class interest, as individual capitals influence one-sided decisions at the state level which are self-destructive in the long term. But idk, corporations also got in line behind Trump real quick this second term, so even that feels like cope as I’m writing it. Guess only time can tell how competent these fascists are.
While corporations especially Silicon Valley ones did fall in line, trump still seems sensitive to markets which appear to have forced him to back off from certain positions. So maybe it would be better to say markets instead of corporations would sway the admin.
