I stand corrected on a lot of stuff. But I was referring to the imperial core of those people’s rule. Like without the United States most billionaires would not exist, but they are doing less nothing. They are stripping everything for parts. That is what stands different. The British build Britain up (even if it was socialist leaning policies that elevated most poor out of poverty) at the expense of everyone else, they didn’t simply have niche enclaves where they had everything but left the rest of the country/cities into as much shit as is happening now.

I mean… maybe? The US is ground zero for this aggressive wealth aggregation. But Russia and Germany and India and the Kingdom of Saud and Qatar and even the Evil CCP have a fair share of billionaires. It certainly isn’t impossible to do wealth aggregation outside the US. Hong Kong alone has 67 of them.
The British build Britain up
I gotta say, I disagree. Balkinize Britain. It had 500 years to fuck around. Maybe time to do a bit of Finding Out. Liberate Ireland. Independence for Scotland and Wales. Let London become one of those dystopian Charter Cities, like what they did in Singapore and Hong Kong and Panama and what they’re planning for Gaza, and allow the rest of England to wither on the vine.
Then British refugees can flee to Spain and France, where they can reintegrate with the mainland and rejoin modern Europe when they’re ready.
