Oddbean new post about login | logout RNC and DNC conventions are over. It’s officially Harris vs Trump. I’m really curious what non-Americans think. How do our #politics affect your life?
War and trade disruptions. We're expected to help out with the former, and can end up on either side of the latter. I think Trump and Harris are both lying grifters; but sufficiently advanced TDS is indistiguishable from sabotage and an Establishment fully engaged in internal sabotage won't have the resources to cause as much trouble in the world...
Most of what affects us are non elected bureaucrats, money printers and main stream media. Thankfully we have a constitutional republic.
It’s a global empire so it effects everyone, but yeah, the whole thing looks fucking mental quite honestly.
TDS is bad in Australia so if he wins I am going to have to put up with that for another four years which won't be fun.
I wish we didn’t have to care but Australia is a US vassal state, to some degree who is in the White House is more impactful than who has the keys to Kirribilli House. Both of them are going to print money and that impacts the world. They’ll each have different proxy war preferences but Aus is on the hook regardless. If like me you believe the West is headed to war in the coming years then the best outcome for #AUStriches is US states seceding and a US Civil War. End this global empire nonsense and stop bombing brown people to keep the oil trade denominated in USD, go smash up your own system and let the world out from under the yoke.
