Random word salad of thoughts about the changing world.

Westernization won. There is no point in studying geopolitics after that.

The US is currently going through a phase of being the weakest that it has ever been, and even so, it is making the greatest strides when it comes to technology and the next phase of the market economy.

The Russians lose to basic US tech in an all out invasion. The Russian ruble begins to crash again, this time with all the banking sectors tricks used up.

While the west struggles with and fights Russia in a fight they will win, China dominates as pressures are taken off it to focus on the war with Russia.

Trump gets elected which ensures a slowdown of the Ukraine war.

Global economic focus shifts to Africa.

If Europe fails the US picks up the slack. If the US fails Europe does.

The west does not want to spread geographically further because every bit of land they take they have to build up.

The west is happy being an ideal size where they can be supplied every year with 0.1%- 0.2% of the remaining world's population per year. Taking up at most 1% of humans from outside per decade, allowing for a stable decline of the rest of the world.

The west with a population of more than 1 billion people is more than happy at those numbers, believing it to be the correct ratio of masters to workers.

Technology keeps growing unconditionally. Human quality of life will keep going up. There is nothing that will change that.

The only worthwhile question is how long will it take the rest of the world to integrate into a single structure. By the look of things it will take three centuries.

Africa is guaranteed to become the factory of the world in time as China shifts away from manufacturing.

The west already won the culture war. They continue to march on and exterminate the most extreme cultures that do not match up with their values.

Once they are done with middle eastern Islam, they will turn their guns on African culture.

The west has always been colonizers and that has still not changed. Only this time they bring promises of making everything better.

The US completely outclasses all other systems and that is a tragedy because even a system as advanced as the US does not find peace.

All of humanity would need to be millionaires before they find peace.

A globalized culture will still take more than a few centuries to be achieved.

Global malnutrition and poverty needs to be ended within this century if there is any hope for global stability in the long run.

The biggest wars need to come to an end and be done with. To do so we need a clear hegemonic winner making it impossible for any other power to cause trouble.

If Russia were to collapse, it's seat on the UN could be passed on to India.

Every 30 years the world changes noticeably. Sweden has not had a war since 1814. They have been at peace for 210 years. Their GDP per capita is the 14th highest in the world, suggesting that if only the world could make centuries long peace with one another, it would guarantee a high quality of income and living standards.

Sadly that will not be the case. The world in the 21st century has seen its borders change just as the borders of the world kept changing in every preceding century. Only nuclear powers have found a reprieve as long as they do not collapse from within.

Economic warfare has become the modus operandi of the current era. With most conflicts between nation states being about keeping the economic growth of one country limited and stagnant long enough for another country to surpass them.

Psychopaths are going to die out over time. They are a dead end genetic lineage.

Palestine is not going to make it as a state. The US will stop sending arms to Israel. Then the arms sales will continue under Trump.

The world enjoys peace. The world desires peace in the long run. Globalization is peace and stability.

Globalization marches onward as global trade keeps rising year on year. Global exports remain at an all time peak and continue to rise year on year.

Humanity is going to fall down to a billion people of less it is inevitable. Cultural selection without encouragement of reproduction pretty much guarantees it.

The good news is as long as you have even a basic level job in any country that isn't an outright poor nation, you should be able to afford to live and save while paying rent in the cheapest housing/ apartment that you can find around the neighborhood.

The biggest challenge that exists for humanity is the ever increasing number of humans who feel out of sync with the society they live within and the internet might have had a hand in that.

People need to be reintegrated into their societies globally and that is going to be the biggest challenge ahead once all the challenges of the 20th and 21st century have been solved.

Entire civilizations are going to be dying out and that is just humanity taking its natural course of events over its natural lifetime. We were always going to become homogeneous over a long enough lifespan. Unlike previous beliefs however it is not due to everybody marrying each other but due to non-white women marrying white men.

Latinx populations have mixed the most with global populations. In the long run guaranteeing that the Latinx/ white mix would emerge as a singular distinct race that will either spread all the way to Europe or split from Europe entirely.

Conclusion:

The west is busy colonizing South America. Europeans are still moving to the US and make up 11% of US immigrants. Nobody notices because of how many immigrants are coming to the US from the rest of the world. What we are seeing is a global population that is constantly moving further west to finally settle in the US no matter which part of the world it is coming from. The US remains the global immigration end point for the entire planet. This is why the US will be the last nation state to exist when the world goes extinct.
