I'm not trying to be alarmist here. Edmund Burke said those who never studied history were doomed to repeat it. Vilfredo Pareto said history is a graveyard of aristocracies.

I'm looking back at the 1920s - the roaring years after the wars around the turn of the century and advent of new technology - and asking myself whether they could have predicted the chaos that resulted after the October Revolution. A pandemic had swept the continent, communism was infecting multiple countries, and a financial depression was emerging. They had machine guns; we have AI and cyber warfare.

Are we living that same situation now, again?

This conflict seems to be in multiple countries against a technocratic globalist elite, who want to sell their countries out to supra-national organisations; a rebellion against the Country Club's plan for an aristocracy that supersedes their national status. Individuals vs collectivism; farms vs cities; nations vs world organisations.

They are not backing down. In fact, they're getting more aggressive and using weapons like disease to claw back control. Our leaders aren't listening, they're appeasing. Not just ignoring ordinary people, but resorting to crime and corruption to seek out ends which are completely against their people.

Bizarrely, it's Marx's prediction, inverted, the ordinary people want nations and the free market, NOT socialism.

It's like a 1776 moment, but across different countries, together. This is happening in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, Canada, and so on. We're being dragged by an emergent China into an 8th Comintern our leaders get a paycheck for, against their citizenry's consent.

The horrifying question i'm left asking here is: if our leaders stubbornly walk down this route, and democratic methods fail, is there any alternative to revolution?

If we are unable to avoid it, a) how do we minimize the death toll, b) how do we enable cross-cooperation between the pedes in these countries, and c) what will replace the problem we're aggrieved by? More importantly, how do we win, completely?

In the next few years, we are going to see:

• Another fake president installed (Kamala), prompting a (potential) secession of at least one State
• China's GDP overtaking the US, the latter of which is now over 150% of GDP in debt
• The annexing of Taiwan, and (probably) parts of Africa
• The death of Elizabeth II (who rules 15 countries, including CA, AU, NZ), and (possibly) Scotland seceding from the world's oldest political union
• A Nationalist leader of France and a (potential) hemorrhaging of a pro-china EU
• Russia annexing Ukraine, on top of Crimea
• Iran developing its first nuclear warhead (prompting action by Israel)
• The world's first trillionaire
• The collapse of the university system

Imagine it was 1639, 1773, 1785, 1910, or 1936. 1-3 years before any of those wars. You knew it was coming, but by the time it had arrived you'd never imagined it would. What would you need to think about, on what timescale, and what would be your place in it?

What lessons could we learn from those conflicts, and their participants' mistakes?
