I think this point in particular needs to be mulled over:
This is also how the concept of "let it eat itself," or collapse under its own weight, should be viewed: a failure of strategy. This Leviathan will continue to stack failing ideas on top of each other by externalizing the consequences and devouring more and more resources until it runs out, at which point it will necessarily collapse, and that collapse would kill billions and splinter America, and the west, into Medieval fiefdoms of warlords and terror. We should probably rule that out as an acceptable path.
I am fully open to the possibility that the so called Dissident Right has its own psyop to push for this sort of dystopian vision of inevitable societal collapse, from which to rebuild something post-repubic. It's just that they frame it entirely differently than say the WEF compatbile globalists, because they are two completely different audiences.
The dialectic at work (and this is not just Dissident Right celebrities populating alt media, but also theocratic voices in the Christian Nationalism movement) is pushing for this dilemma of some necessary extreme as the only antidote to the current situation of extreme government corruption. And of course the Dissident Rights like in Poso's world also propose some benevolent strongman, a semi-dictator, just as the Christian Nationalists advocate an end point of some "Christian Caesar" type. Yes they use that exact terminology. Caesar, who we can all recall heralded the end of the Roman republic and the beginning of Empire, with a centralized authority figure based on hereditary and spiritual qualifications. The same of which in principle the Founding Fathers specifically rejected in European models.
I mean part of the problem. Is most people’s experience with the ideals as proposed by the Founders.
Is either the current mess we call a World and Federal Government today. Or people waxing poetically online about a system and way of life no one in living memory has lived under.
Or arguments and cherry-picked quotes taken out of context online. To justify whatever inane point or juvenile insult someone is hurling at whoever they are arguing with.
Wouldn’t be particularly shocking more and more people would be looking elsewhere other than the ideals of the founders to fix current days problems.

So take all that for what it's worth.
Man. This is a tippy-top comment and post.
Thank you for this. I'd updoot it 1,000 times if I could.
