My opinion: America will split in half. We are two peoples now - one who has willingly become Morlocks, the other a society of at least decent and somewhat intelligent people.
I personally no longer see members of MAGA as fellow Americans. They are the flesh of an enemy nation, who would gladly ravage humanity for their pleasure.
I am expecting malicious compliance. "That disgusting member, oozing with precious bodily fluids...thirty inches, that corkscrews deep into the warm depths of the..."
I fully expect Google to comply. Thankfully, the only service of theirs that I use is Youtube.
If a civil war happens, I think a side effect is that Google's domination over video platforms would be over. People would end up flocking towards the ones that aren't in service to the Regime.
Considering the general lack of population and the issues it will cause for both Ukraine and Russia, I think Ukraine's preference for survivable tanks is the smart move. No point in winning the war if your nation becomes insolvent.
Just because America is in a crappy state, is no excuse for Australians or anyone else on a given patch of dirt to allow their nation be enshittified. You should consider America as a warning, of what can happen if your politics become rotten.
Australia, a prison state created for inmates, and perpetuated as such by their descendants. As a foreigner looking in, I think that Aussies would be best served by ditching the colonial prison mindset. You and the kids are allowed to have fun, if you ignore the specter of the Crown that created your nation.
Whatever the new progressive party is named, it should have only two goals...firstly, to eradicate the Trump Regime. Secondly, ditch the First Past the Post election system, switching the whole nation to ranked choice and direct voting.
American politics have been inbred by a horrid voting system.
I just want to get on with life and rebuilding America into something that doesn't suck. I say a bullet would do the job just fine, far as clearing out the Epstein and ICE classes go. They aren't the kind of people you want as neighbors, and honestly, would waste a lot of resources to house them in prisons for life.
Those resources should go towards universal healthcare, parental leave, and so forth.
When it comes to teeth, I think 100% taxation should be imposed on people and companies whose wealth exceeds a cap. In the case of companies, their limit on wealth and assets should be based on employees. Someone makes 50k a year? Half of their income's worth increases the cap for the business. O'course, incomes should be capped, workers voting on leadership, and so forth, to prevent stupid exploits for increasing a business's wealth cap.
To keep the businesses honest about the book keeping, they don't handle the accounting and employee records. The state and federal government should have rotations of overseeing them. They can roll a 1d4 dice each year, the first two rolls deciding which quarters of the year that the state government is responsible for. The federal government takes the other two seasons.
This helps prevent corruption, because a company and government observers can't get too familiar with each other. If a company tries to offer favors to a randomized person, they will eventually be found out by someone honest, who can relate the issue to both the state and federal government. Also, both state and federal governments can compare their fiscal books on a company, to ensure that they match up. Each season a state or government observes, they use a different observer. So a total of four different observers each year to compare records with. Bigger companies, of course, should get more people watching them.
IMO, corruption in general is the biggest reason why America is becoming an awful place. Making it harder to do is crucial, and what I outlined above is just one of many approaches that will be needed.
It would be awesome if my euros weren't physical anymore. I don't like being a mattress stuffer.
