Hm, very interesting, I’m going to watch this video.
The west peaked relative to the world a long time ago, and now the world is catching up.
They’re going to get to enjoy some of the pleasures, and pains we did, before the great fall.
The world’s always changing, and that change isn’t always a forward motion, but short sighted people can’t see that, they think like the world is just going to carry on as it has in the same general direction for centuries, if they think at all.
Barring a catastrophe of epic proportions, which could very well happen soon, what will the world look like in 2030, or 2050, with an ascendant China, a China no longer intimidated by the west, flexing its economic muscles, playing hardball, outcompeting America for South American, European, African and Asian markets?
And flexing its military muscles, as China and the other big players scramble for diminishing resources, securing them by any means possible, exploiting smaller nations to feed their ravenous economies.
Many battles, small and big, economically and militarily will be fought, and increasingly America is going to lose, its monopoly over finance, resources and military might is slowly coming to an end, and Americans are going to really start feeling it, as the world turns their back on them, as its capacity to produce, consume and bully other nations takes a dive.
It’s going to be a new world order, increasingly with China at the helm, exerting itself, not just materially, but culturally, putting their own spin on capitalism, expanding their spheres of influence farther and wider, we can scarcely imagine how it’ll all unfold.
