politics

not, to zero, obviously but at least less than it is now, fuck

Probably someone loyal to Trump, if he wins he'll pick someone to raise as his successor

It won't be vance, I can assure you that, lol

Vance isn't pro-Israel enough

What about 80 years epic change theory, will it break now

Since the idea is washington then lincoln then fdr but who now

There'd have to be a new world war

Or 9/11 or something

Uh oh

Fallout incoming

I will be the salt lord

You have no idea

I mean, in all likelyhood Trump looses Taiwan while in-office

which is a blow to his peacemaker schtick

even if he ends Ukraine and pauses the Palestinian genocide

he'll be remembered for losing Taiwan

Idk i think china got spooked by how the ukraine debaucle went

Idk, I think there's a chance he'll stand up to them

zero chance, no one's in a position to protect Taiwan

That too, they see what "passive" american support can do, although Taiwan is a lot smaller

And farther away

Taiwan loses to a decapitating strike within 4 hours, we'd have no chance of stepping in and stabilizing it like in the past

One day i will own a spice plantation

I'm a firm believer in "nothing ever happens" so I feel like it'll turn out fine in that regard

I think we're due for a reccession though so that'll get blamed on whomever is in office

I mean, I don't think the world ends if we lose Taiwan

So if Trump doesn't win today, he or his successor will win in 2028

Do you think china will ever become dynastic again?

no?

I can only hope

I don't think anyone outside of shithole tribes i nafrica

want to go back to kings

Idk man

and Lichtenstein*

They don't get as influenced by money and stuff

There's a few monarchies still around but they're all propped up on convenience

They're either too small to care about or they have a shit ton of money/resources for their size

Idk just kind of crazy how everything chaged like that so recently

I suppose it has to do with gunpowder giving power to the average citizen

lol

But were pretty past gunpowder in terms of military tech at this point

I feel like at some poont monarchies will make a comeback

As funny as that would be they won't, at most dictatorships will

imo, monarchies only make sense in the context of SMALL states, which the world is moving away from popular sovreignty is dead, more nations will consolidate the small nations around them and we're gradually returning to regional blocks

My big theory though is in the future we wont be colonising planets but instead just live on spaceships. Planets will just be radioactivr wastelands due to nukes and everyone will have digferent forms of governments on their spaceshups

Which you could say are close enough, but it would take an apocalyptic scenario for the West to fall to true Fascism

fun fact Zyton, nuclear Winter as a theory is less of a sure thing now

aren't nuclear power plant failure sites livable far quicker than people theorized?

so the odds that we can destroy the earth by lobbing nukes and MAD the Earth to a wasteland is kinda tenuous

yup
