Following is what I foresee for the US and what it could look like for online-driven businesses.
Here goes:
* Texas secedes
* Feds can’t stop them from blocking the importing of 3rd world invaders which the regime wants to recruit for US military as soldiers who’d have no problem firing on Americans
* Feds start funneling invaders in through California, Arizona, New Mexico even more aggressively than they are now
* Nothing really changes
* US breaks up as a country by 2033 as per Vox Day’s prediction he publicly made on his blog in 2004 that everyone laughed at then, that now even mainstream talking heads are chattering about today
* Invaders either forced back whence they came or to Cartel-controlled Southwest, as various new regional nationalist governments emerge from the broken pieces of the empire
* The normies who listened to neocon boomers on TV about putting on masks while putting up foreign flags and pronouns in their bios realize those they thought were our allies never were, while the “bad guys” reach out to new political factions to establish commerce
* Big cities are fooked where people hire mercenaries to help them escape the various mini warlords blocking exits, keeping most people inside
* Small, homogeneous communities where all the various peoples naturally gravitate to for mutual survival thrive over next 50 years
* After that a new empire begins anew and the cycle repeats again in 250-300 years
Or not.
When I originally wrote this a few months ago as a gag on Twitter, I had just watched Van Damme’s “Cyborg” and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “The Running Man” and admittedly have no clue what’s going to happen.. But I will say this: Considering how many so-called “conspiracy theories” have turned out to be spoiler alerts, I could be far more right than I am wrong about all this.
Anyway, that’s that.
I do think it will all break up eventually.
One or two more burgled elections ought to turn the trick.
And when that happens commerce will still happen. In fact, those ready for it well in advance with their own lists, audiences, and buyers will very likely make out like the proverbial bandits depending on what you sell, what market you’re in, and how much your list and buyers trust and like you.
The details of that are for another day.
