      We need to ship all of these people to one island, give them plenty of food and resources, and watch them all be miserable together. I can’t wait to watch Lizz Truss and JD Vance have a total meltdown over some nonsense while Trump and Milei talk about all the meaty dicks they’ve seen at their white as hell golf tournaments. And any of their followers can live there, free of charge, but to come back, they have to go through a mandatory kindergarten - university rehabilitation program.

      Everyone would get so sick of each other, lol.

      I think it is in Project 2025 manifesto? I don’t know if it is, because I can’t be bothered to read their points. But I do know that Steve Bannon-- and I probably don’t need to explain who he is to Trump-- wants “economic nationalism” for everyone, which is basically autarky and isolationism. Bannon did go on Europe to promote the far-right groups and his ideas almost ten years back. In any case, it is though autarky and isolationism had worked well before…

      American oligarchs and the far-right also have an axe to grind with Europe. If the EU could have Brussels effect by forcing countries that trade with them to improve their standards, then Project 2025 want other countries trade with US but… lower their standards? I don’t get all this. These ridiculous demands could be smoke and mirrors for something else. Or, they could genuinely be serious and accelerationists like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, who are now whispering in Trump’s ears, want the world to end and pick up the scraps for themselves. Maybe that’s why they are pushing for AI. When the world ends and there are fewer people, only the robots they could rely on.

      Oh my god, I just realised that Fallout is onto something!
