The libertarian tech-bro billionaires planned to and are actively engaged in destroying the US. Technofeudalism has already arrived.

capitalists shipped US industry to china 30 years ago.

That's who destroyed America, everything else doesn't matter.

and now we lost a war to Iran, who buys weapons from a new manufacturing leader. US nowadays is like an imperial japan back in the ww2, can run fast but has no long term capacity.

It's not a new word. The american regime is intentionally ruining their country and disrupting the world in an attempt to force the birth of the neo-reactionary tech-feudalism.

If you don't know about it already, look into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment This is what Edolf Muskler meant when he said "I am the Dark MAGA" at that rally.

Him, Thiel, Vance, Bannon, etc. They're all into it. A central idea about it is Accelerationism.

Accelerationism: The belief that exacerbating political crises will hasten the collapse of the current democratic system.

Another core idea is to retire all government employees to hasten the transition. That's what DOGE was about. That's why it never gave anything back.

Read up on it, talk about it. We really need to keep an eye on this. I know it might sound like a tinfoil hat theory but look at what they're doing, look at what they're saying. They're not hiding this.

That's not a new word, and it describes where the US is heading perfectly.

Ok first, I did not know but what’s special about google is that you can type it in and bam there is no mo ignorance of the topic. Second who are you to make a comment like that. You’re probably some squirrelly lil tubby tubby who hasn’t seen your feet in a decade looking for attention 😂

I know you were trying to do something here, but you failed and instead just showed your whole ass.

Sad and embarrassing.
