    On one hand I agree with you. This won’t only impact the US. Perhaps we’ll get hit harder than the Americans (at least some parts of the world).

    On the other hand I would argue the rest of the world is much more connected on a visceral level. The Americans have their feet and legs, when the world uses meters and centigrade. American prices are always provided on a list basis (and local oligarchs and their shills constantly lie that modern software solutions can’t apply local tax adjustment algorithms on a dynamic basis), the rest of the world has true prices (only in English would one have to clarify what you mean by true prices).

    I am not saying that only Americans will get fucked, but the rest of the world has a measure of dynamism that Americans don’t (not to mention a much higher tolerance to challenges).

    Perhaps there are some long terms benefits to Trump’s behaviour. We can find alternative to American-style corruption and degeneracy. While there are many sane Americans, they also need to take a more sober attitude to their current situation and be willing to take risks and be less arrogant about “home of the brave” and similar polemics.

      Yes maybe like Lemmy, a more federated type trade rather than centralize financial/ currency wise. That will be great.
