I'm kind of glad things are falling apart. It's like walking in the slightly wrong direction, every day you don't change course you add a bit of debt. At this point we're hitting something of a dead end, and it may finally be time to fix things.
It's going to be painful, ofc. But it always was.
- devalgo 6y agoThe burn it down and rebuild approach is terrifying. There's absolutely no reason to think there will be anything left to rebuild. Do you really think a Country like the US with thousands of nuclear weapons will allow itself to be torn down? You really think strongmen won't appear and enforce totalitarianism on any country sufficiently destabilized? There's a million ways for that sequence to go horribly wrong and like 5 where it works out. It's not a real solution.
