The Anglosphere’s entire 300-year model [capitalism + imperialism] is breaking. #SundayThoughts ☕️ 
2. First, we need an objective review of history. It started with the British—navel based war, colonizing, and “forcing markets open.” Uhh, “free trade,” over the barrel of a white person’s gun.
3. After the British Empire, their model migrated to the United States—today it’s the U.S. military occupying 150 countries, media propaganda to infiltrating societies, forced democracy, USD hegemony, sanctions, and by these means the achievement of globally controlled markets.
4. The “free market” has always been about Anglo control; it’s their market [most people in the Anglosphere won’t acknowledge this because they are beneficiaries, which is why I say we need to be objective if we want to see what’s actually happening here].
5. Now the world is changing, again. The Anglos no longer wield totalitarian market control. Why? Because now there’s one big sovereign player [China], and all attempts to control it have failed. Even the 100-year century of humiliation, ultimately failed.
6. Now each time the Algos try imperialism/racism to benefit capitalism/corporatism, as they have successfully for hundreds of years, the latter is made to pay a price for the former (see NBA, H&M/Nike). This is a big change, and difficult for them to psychologically deal with.
7. But this existential crisis, for them, is really just free markets returning. A corporation can’t simultaneously support terrorism in a country, spread racist propaganda, and also get big bucks from that country’s consumers. There is an “invisible hand,” which guides players.
8. People complaining about “China controlling us” are actually just complaining about true free markets returning, and the natural breakup of the Anglo-monopoly. It’s not a bad thing, unless you’re an Anglo-supremacist maniac or related opportunist.
9. Strategically, it’s hard to see ways out of this. The Anglosphere can either 1) allow true free markets, or 2) attempt to reestablish global totalitarian control over them.
They are still dangerously pursuing for the second path. (9/9) #Imperialism #Capitalism
