Specifically? The US federal reserve maintains low interest rates, allowing oligarchs to borrow against their pre-existing conditions of prosperity. This in turn allows them to inflate USD and buy an alternate currency with higher interest rates, things like gold, bitcoin (stores of value that are hard to take via force, but are ultimately functionally useless). USD simultaneously inflates and deflates, leading to a near-useless currency. As a result the US balkanizes into 2 nations, one allied with Russia, Christianity, & Gazprom, one allied with China & Europe. The oligarchs will misjudge the transition and the world will be thrown into war & chaos. Understanding the enormity of the mistake, the world will be forced to either unite or die. It's unfortunately where we really, really seem to like to move ourselves, not as a whole, but as individuals, and we like to pretend like our daily decisions aren't causing this. If yours must be the glory, then mine must be the shame; you want it darker? We kill the flame.
