   It's important to keep in mind that the Roman Empire survived through all its decadence and turmoil and bad leadership because the military as an institution remained intact, and when it had become overrun with foreign mercenaries it fell. How can a nation stand when it not only has no racial or religious unity, but not even a strong army of hardened men?
   
   And yet I have no idea what collapse would look like. People are gonna be pissed when Orange Faggot gets the election stolen from him, but they aren't gonna form any kind of organized rebellion or anything which could meaningfully alter things.
   
   That doesn't mean nothing is moving or changing, because countries like Russia and Iran have very clearly taken note of American weakness and tried to take advantage. Those
   nations are themselves running into the problem of their own weakness, but the fact remains that the US has so deteriorated in the past 20 years that America can't summon the kind of military might they did in Iraq and Afghanistan.
   
   So what happens? Clown World is fragile and showing cracks, but holds because of worldwide sloth and decadence, where there is no vigorous, rising civilization capable of bringing about revolutionary change. Honestly the gay alt-elite Musk/Thiel nexus might be the least pathetic competition, and that's not saying much. Are they gonna fund secessionist movements when their buttboy Vance gets locked out of the electoral system? Would the populations of secessionist states be able to stomach getting frozen out of the global financial system?
   
   I have no idea what to make of this. I feel like I can see Orange Faggot Steal 2 coming a mile away, and I want to be prepared for whatever happens in the aftermath, but I have no idea as to what to actually do.

     @wgiwf Maybe there isn't much we can do save tend our own garden and pray it doesn't get crushed in whatever is to come.

     @ArdainianRight But without the chaos nothing will change. So, for better or worse, it has to be this way.
