We have a "government". Just not the one envisioned by the Founding Fathers. It's fast becoming a dystopian nightmare straight from the pages of 1984, Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451. When they try to implement digital currency, it's completely over. That moment has to be what gets people off the couches and marching with pitchforks and torches or we'll be nothing but serfs controlled by our social credit scores.

The question is ... what kind of 'government' and by what criterion, and more importantly by what a priori organizing presuppositions. I am sure that the answers are various and sundry.

Surely though, when a government collapses and all descends into chaos, then there is an absence of government. And for my money, we the Collective West stand at the very edge of that precipice. Chaos, stupidity, clown rulers abound. And the rest of the world already sees this.

And with the Ukraine proxy war, first with the economic war (sanctions) failing miserably, and now with the kinetic hot war a dismal failure, the whole world is beginning to see that it is once thing to take on second rate countries, but another thing to take on a world class military establishment such as is possessed by Russia.

The failed West is now looking, even with its once vaunted military power, more like a paper tiger filled with clown wanna be 'rulers'. Want an example? Well then, I thought it totally shocking that a child-like Ursula von der Leyen, a failure in everything she has ever attempted, could possibly have been considered as the head of NATO! The rest of the choices in consideration were not any better.

It's going to be an interesting rest of the year.

Yes, I totally agree with you. The west has committed cultural suicide and 70% of the sheep around us don't care as long as Peter (the productive) is being robbed to pay Paul (Free Stuff Army). The school system from Kindergarten to the University level is an unmitigated disaster that has caused irreparable harm to our nation and do nothing but churn out indoctrinated marxists that think 200K a year salaries for working the drive through are a right (I exaggerate slightly). The only way we save the Republic is to get the National government permanently out of our schools, and we start meting out the justice that the communist left so deserves. It needs to be so untenable for them to even exist in our communities that they start to migrate to marxist paradises outside our national borders.

The best thing long term would be for the United States inc., to go broke and have the Private/Public Partnership's Fascist funding mechanism collapse. And 'the government' be forced to cut back to essential only functions. Truly painful, and a lot of people would die ... and as seen in the Soviet collapse. I would not want to see it, but painfully ... I don't see any way out.

I've been looking into BRICS in Durban, something about a common gold back currency or basket. August 22 to 24 this year. Here's one short thing. Take a look at BRICS. Still a lot of that old Sustainable/Socialist/Marxist jargon. Most of the countries are Marxist/Humanist. China and SA very much so. And the rest is Socialist. I realize this is a bit simplistic. None are as stupidly Woke Insane as is the West
