carpoftruth [any, any]

Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth; And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, With windlasses and with assays of bias, By indirections find directions out.

  • My guess is renewed focus on the Monroe doctrine and a shift from maximalist goals as single world hegemon to more modest ones, big dog of the anglosphere. Neocon goals like the breakup of Russia, regime change in Iran, and isolation of China are looking a lot less possible now, but the empire is still fully capable exploitation and juice squeezing from existing US vassals in the golf course countries and smaller states that are less autarkic, less able to resist (lots of Latin America).

    @xiaohongshu@hexbear.net has also discussed how while American cultural, diplomatic and military hegemony is waning relative to other nations, they are still the world’s financial hegemon with any financial rival still years/decades away. If the libs of the various other contenders in a multipolar world fuck up, it’s possible that American financial capital will be able to molt and shed the American nation state and parasitize a broader segment of the globe.
