When our economy collapses due to the Musk/Trump “management” of it, then Musk/Trump/etc will need to start a hot war to put citizens to work and excuse vast new amounts of spending (financed with borrowing), mostly on the MIC. Just like Hitler did in the late 30s. Who the victim will be, I’ve no idea. The stupid little post-9/11 middle-eastern wars made MIC types richer but I don’t think they greatly affected the US economy otherwise. No, I think we’ll need a big war, against a fairly powerful opponent, to justify all of the “sacrifice” the domestic Poors are going to be asked to engage in. The opponent should be, ideally, a prime target for racial and cultural bigotry - a people that the Poors already think is gross. That’ll boost the enlistment rates among their young, who’ll be all too happy to sign up to murder whoever MAGA says is foul and hateable and responsible for the shit sandwiches that they’ve found on their plates. But will Musk/Trump try to take on a Russia or China or NK, opponents that might let fly with nukes? Wall St. won’t be keen on that I think, and the billionaires own MAGA now, but still there’ll be all those starving, diseased poors … how will we protect billionaire wealth while maximally leveraging the poors’ racism/bigotry and their desire to feel strong and important, to have a stage and to have at least a micro-MAGA-sized personal claim to glory?
