I don't think it will displace other terrorist impetuses, and I;m sorry if I gave that impression.

But I do think that nationalism, at least in US, dons a trump flag, pun intended. Because of how extreme that association is, I think many would-be nationalists will capitulate to Biden, who seems to be doing a good enough job of appealing to such forces.

Don't know what zero hours contracts are, but I wouldn;t disagree about profit. I tend to think of capitalism as being oriented around the perpetual optimization of profit, rates, rates of rates, rates of rates of rates, etc. edit: terminologically and technically, I'm suboptimal here. I just...

Yeah, and I think it will be an anti-nationalism cracking down on a nationalism, although perhaps done under this or that pretense of national security. The ideological body that is doing the cracking down would be a globalism, no? Or perhaps a postnationalism, if we want to cut out the word...

Low camp strategy of tension?

I mean I'm still doing the usual here, speculating with facts but largely beyond factuality. If we had all the facts we need, we wouldn't need to go beyond factuality, no? The part of knowledge that is limited to factuality is science, while the part that is beyond factuality is gnosis.

What do you mean?

Terrorism being officially outlawed, and nationalism being de facto tethered to it, cast down to rock bottom.

Yeah perhaps a defining aspect to the ideological globalism I have in mind is that it tends away from nationalism, and is thus more or less anti-nationalist. "Postnationalism" could work as a descriptor, if or when we reach the point when virtually all nationalist activity is at the fringes...

Excelurgical politics.

Again, I'd be surprised if this infrastructure isn't already being built. Perhaps it involves efforts that aren't intending to cooperate, but will prove to harmoniously align and combust into advancements way larger than the sum of their parts.

But think about how much economic activity, even human activity, is now mediated by the digital, binary being an ideal control language. Plus you factor in machine-learning-aided advancements of machine-learning, just an example of technology's potential for feedback-enabled exponential progress.

We wouldn't be able to do it without elaborate algorithms.

Yeah I mean in some ways the extremity has already been reached.

And I think its inevitable, unless we kinetically or otherwise destroy the infrastructure for any such arrangement, which I don't think will happen.

Yeah this is critical. And it also ties in with your point about the people being interchangeable, exchangeable, across ideological lines. I tend to think in terms of what kinds of ideological supplements are currently enjoying the favor of capitalism. And it seems to me that we haven't already...

As in his nanowrimo dramatization, he only appears decisively and fleetingly. Our profiles on him are based on ephemeral data.

Well the major reason I;m not conspiratorially inclined is because I don't give humans credit for operating this system we're in, at least not nearly as thoroughly as such systems can be operated. (edit: in theory. No historical examples of successful global poiltical systems, to my knowledge)...

You lost me there.
