@deprecated_ii Trump needs to put the tariffs higher and crash the boomers with no survivors

@apropos @deprecated_ii @nugger I've been telling the collapse enjoyers for years that sometimes worse is just worse.
No one wants to hear that.

>rivers of blood
blackpill for you:
>once Rome no longer had the strength to enforce the Roman peace or Roman law, that didn't mean it no longer had the strength to create Roman disorder. The strategic policy of the Eastern Roman empire along frontiers it could no longer govern was to make them ungovernable so no one could. Once [Washington DC] can longer be the city on a golden hill, it will not fade quietly but instead seek to be king of the dung heap.
>Once you move from a win-win game to a lose-lose game, the strategy becomes to make sure that others lose more in relative terms than yourself.
imagine getting, instead of a total collapse where the armed American obviously instantly wins, a near-total collapse where the government only functions well enough to punish anyone trying to restore order. Nothing but those guys in Georgia getting long prison sentences for getting attacked by a "jogger".

@nugger @deprecated_ii When the gdr stops existing, there was peaceful reabsorption of the gdr into a mostly ethnically homogenous pre existing German state.
When the American empire stops existing, there's probably going to be rivers of blood.
And cum. But mostly blood.

@deprecated_ii I'm gonna just give my opinion. I think a lot of trading partners are gonna give trump what he wants, the tariffs are gonna work, and the market is gonna correct.
In two years we'll probably be making more tongue in cheek memes about big line go up.
This isn't even a good thing if you want "the collapse of the empire in my lifetime", but I don't think that's happening anyway.
People who don't like my opinion can be mad, I guess. My opinion is practically irrelevant.

@Robert_Edwardly @deprecated_ii YOU REMEMBER HOW THEY HAD REPORTERS TALKING TO HEAD OF COMMUNIST GERMANY AND HE WAS DRUNK AND THEY WERE LIKE "WELL OF COURSE THERES GOING TO BE A GERMAN REUNION SOMEDAY RIGHT"
AND HE WAS LIKE "YEAH UHHH WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS THIS"
AND THEY WERE LIKE "AND THE BERLIN WALL IS GONNA COME DOWN"
AND HE WAS LIKE "YEAH SOMEDAY"
AND THEY WERE LIKE "WELL, WHEN? ARE THEY WORKING ON THAT TODAY?"
AND HE WAS LIKE "YEAH FUCK IT TODAY I GUESS"
AND THEN THEY ALL RAN OUT AND SPREAD THE NEWS LIKE IT WAS OFFICIAL AND PEOPLE STARTED TEARING THE WALL APART AND THE COPS DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
AND IN LIKE A WEEK GDR DIDN'T EXIST

@apropos @Robert_Edwardly @deprecated_ii @nugger the Romans had external invaders and logistics were primitive. Creating a 30 mile swathe of hell is just as effective as building a wall at keeping marching armies at bay. Not comparable situations at all
