I can’t see how we are not at the beginning of end stage capitalism one way or another. I don’t know what it will look like, but either a lot of it is going to come crumbling down, or the mega corporations are going to get even bigger and somehow control even more.
It does feel like the oligarchs are making their endgame moves. They don’t care about functioning economies anymore, they just want control of whatever is left. If nobody stops them in the US, they’re coming for all of us.
