The greatest strength comes from knowing your own weakness. My overarching thesis is that history is running in reverse. So the countries that had a great 20th century are on track for a tough 21st, and vice versa. For example: China, Russia, India, Eastern Europe were crushed by socialism. Now they are capitalist and unified to varying degrees. So their overall trajectory is up. Meanwhile, Woke America and Western Europe were once capitalist and unified. But now they’re woke with broken borders and bankrupt states. So their overall trajectory is down. Like Dalio and Elon, I believe the coming sovereign debt crisis will end 500 years of Western dominance (and also take down Japan). Failing states will get extremely nasty. I think China rises. I think the Internet succeeds the West, and opposes China. I also think Bitcoin Republicans can maybe turn Florida into a Taiwan equivalent, where capitalists take refuge. But most aren’t ready to hear this. They still think the postwar order will last.

I don't understand why you oppose capitalism to woke. These aren't opposing systems... Western Europe is capitalist. Also USA is (even more extreme than Western Europe) capitalist. What I feel like you mean by woke are topics that are meant to divide people, planted (maybe even by far right or authoritarian elements) on the internet and reaching out irl leading to violence in extreme cases - the intention is destabilization (which helps every autharitarian narrative). You can only do this if there is discontent among the people already which would then have been an effect of capitalism failing more and more people. "Woke" (as a synonym for all the dividing topics people feel like they have to go all in on for god knows what reasons) is not the cause of discontent, it's the fuel amplifying it or the valve channeling it.
