What kind of world are the Orange and his puppet master billionaires building?
Are we headed for slavery, extinction, the matrix or some other post apocalyptic future?
How do these despots think that food arrives?
At the moment it seems they’re hell bent on global destruction.
Simple. We are on the express to cyberpunk (the literary genre).
Cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction in a dystopian futuristic setting said to focus on a combination of “low-life and high tech”. It features futuristic technological and scientific achievements, such as artificial intelligence and cyberware, juxtaposed with societal collapse, dystopia or decay.
Cyberpunk plots often involve conflict between artificial intelligence, hackers, and megacorporations, and tend to be set in a near-future Earth…

Indeed. But does it really matter who sells who which area of land, with all the people and other natural resources contained within the area, if it just leads to a future where the rich stay rich, the people (of the areas) stay poor, and the bombings never cease?
As to the question: a desolate, corporation-owned and capitalistically-ran dystopian hellscape apparently?
We’re allowing him to.
Look up curtis yarvin. That’s basically their ideology. So 100s or 1000s of city states scattered around north America. Mostly dominated by either the religious extreme or tech bros and ai.
Ah, shit man.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Yarvin
Yarvin has influenced some prominent Silicon Valley investors and Republican politicians, with venture capitalist Peter Thiel described as his “most important connection”.[15] Political strategist Steve Bannon has read and admired his work.[16] U.S. Vice President JD Vance “has cited Yarvin as an influence himself.”[17][18][19] Michael Anton, the State Department Director of Policy Planning during Trump’s second presidency, has also discussed Yarvin’s ideas.[20] In January 2025, Yarvin attended a Trump inaugural gala in Washington; Politico reported he was “an informal guest of honor” due to his “outsize influence over the Trumpian right.”[21]
Surprised more people aren’t aware of this. It’s basically the end of western civilization as we know it. Not even a theory really seeing as what they needed to happen in order for their plans to be successful has already happened. Anyone who could have stopped them has already been fired and replaced with loyalists.
Fascinating and bizarre, has he published any print books on this subject that I could pick up?
Check out https://www.unqualified-reservations.org/ There is a list of books he wrote with free PDF and links to Kindle store. “Mencious Moldbug” is one of his pseudonyms.
The world of the 17 th century and the VOC.
When an empire can’t expand, by means of territory, knowledge, or other means; it turns inwards on its own people and territories in a last ditch effort to survive, as it lunges towards its inevitable collapse.
There is no endgame, it’s just "how much bribery and corruption can I do before I have to leave the legal immunity bubble that the Supreme Court created.
They’re rich enough that they will be unaffected by the global consequences of their actions.
The hour is later than we know regarding climate change. Authoritarianism is the only way for governments to maintain control for as long as possible, protecting the powerful.
Collapse of civilization is right around the corner.
Collapse of civilization is right around the corner.
I wouldn’t be so sure. History is filled with examples of power grabs that endured for generations.
The ability to grow, store, and distribute grains at scale is necessary for the continued existence of civilization. Climate change will destroy this in short order. Once that ability is gone, so will be civilization.
There is no tomorrow.
Countries like the PRC are making vast strides in the way of fighting climate change and emissions. We won’t be able to avoid all of the consequences of climate change, but we can minimize the damage and develop methods of environmental engineering.
Endgame?
Paranoia can tell you anything you don’t control is a threat - whether it’s another country, a race, a personality type, lack of web privacy, whatever. The MAGA leaders are so drenched in that paranoia, there’s really no limit to what they might do to squash anyone and anything they see as a possible threat to them.

So far, seems to be a poor bid at reindustrializing, as the US is failing to keep up with China’s growth and will see its global Hegemonic status falling. More than anything, it seems like the current admin are “true believers” of the lies the architects of Empire concocted to justify their tools, hence why the current admin is gutting USAID and other forms of soft power exertion.
The US can’t re-industrialize without Socialism, so it will flounder until it collapses via revolution as it dies a slow death.
the two types of people in this world (if you’re not a lib), literally the embodiment of the Mario says/Luigi says meme:
As a map some days ago showed, Canada, Greenland, Panama, probably Israel, maybe even Ukrain - it’s all about shipping lanes.
All that effort makes sense if there is the believe that global trade will increase and that the USA will still be relevant when the center of the global population is in Asia.
So extinction is not the goal but could be an accepted risk.
It’s a coalition of crazy. It isn’t entirely clear who is going to be in control of what or for how long. It could get very messy.
