Decades of nice safe cooperation and suddenly everythings fucked and now we can’t trust eachother.

Its what happens when you let the mob run the country.

Nah. It happens when you let an idiot run things.

Mobsters are still organized businessmen. Just criminal ones. They’d do a much better job.

Mobsters (and other organized businessmen) prefer for their goals and means to be impregnable for outside spectators. Meaning we don’t know what’s happening. Also a much better job for their own ends, not yours.

I would expect for USA to start playing Hitler in a decade or so, and it won’t be the “inefficient Hitler” trope usually ascribed to USA. It’ll be the “Hitler having listed all possible targets and eliminated them in under an hour when the global boogaloo starts” trope, the “Hitler having predicted all his possible opponents, as in separate people, down to every decision 10 years forward” kind of trope, the “evil Hari Seldon” kind of trope. The point is clear I hope.

All delivered to us by computation which most of the world uses inefficiently, but with proper understanding much more powerful. Anyway. I suppose it’s too late to change anything.
