The long term immigration prospects are probably good too, as eventually we’ll start getting floods of European refugees fleeing the horde. How interesting they will find it to hear us complain about Mexicans.

We can already observe efforts toward creating autonomous zones in Dixie, as the white portions of several black metropolitan areas seek to break away. Our rulers, however, are insane. They will crush these endeavors sooner or later. Mass devolution of power seems unlikely to be orderly or even semi-orderly given the aforementioned psychosis.

America® may indeed reap greater enthusiasm from its most fearful clients, but who wins when the Pentagon clashes with Harvard? “Hey, Japan: We’ll continue beefing up your security if you reverse your immigration policy and open the floodgates.”

There’s a lot here to chew on, and I agree with much of it, though I am less sanguine about a number of things. Trillions of dollars of government debt (federal and state and municipal), trillions in private and union pension shortfalls, and trillions in student aid debt: these are getting worse every day, and aren’t going to go away quietly. The USA isn’t Greece, but we’re headed in that direction.

Also, our waning status as a superpower, and the rise of China, is worrisome. Periods of peace in history are correlated with unrivaled superpowers: Pax Romana, Pax Britannica. It’s periods in which there are falling and rising powers that are associated with major wars.

You fail to address changing demographics. How can America prevail when Americans are largely disappearing, replaced by various Africans, Hispanics, Asians, and Arabs? Demographics trumps all.

Latin America is about 82% infected by Modernity, Argentina being one of the bigger cesspits of the lot. It’s not as bad as North America of course, but culturally, these countries are on a downward trajectory.

As for the informed speculation here proffered? I dunno. Not saying it doesn’t make sense, but it would sure sound more compelling if the evidence of governmental insanity weren’t copious. Orderly or even semi-orderly devolution of power sounds too prudent and rational for USG.

On another note, this made me think (simplistically) of how the Western Roman Empire was succeeded by the Church. Perhaps the United States of America will be succeeded by America®.

I don’t see how Colombia is a reasonable prospect. Gender nonsense has already seeped into the water.

Will our Ivy League ecclesiocracy just look the other way as it preoccupies itself with more distant lands? Maybe. I doubt it, though.

I get regular reports up here in the true north strong and free.

The continued resilience of the evil, satanic entity known as “America” may just be the greatest proof that god doesn’t exist.
