We were here in January 1789 and you are going to be here in 24 months. the big thing to watch is the Fed and Treasury's options are shrinking day by day, eventually they'll only be able to react to events and stay whatever course they're on. the trigger will be that Powell will step down after speaking out about something.

never forget that France and most of Europe considered France to be the greatest military power on Earth right up until the King was arrested.

Good call anon, the similarities are pretty striking. Right down to the impotent head of the state, and massively corrupt and broken tax structure. One thing that is different is we have our state houses, but they seem pretty impotent in the face if Fed policy.

yeah, so did France. the regional Parlements were a holdover from the days when France was a bunch of duchies held together by the Capets. then Louis XIV centralised the state and the Parlements lost most of their power. sound familiar?

I agree with the similarities of the end of each's empire but I doubt that the result will be guillotines stained with the ruling party's blood. Humanity couldn't accept being that savage unless people were starving to death and homeless, technology has raised standards of living to the point where only a giga happening would change the course of humanity entirely.

Fun fact too:
The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was from 1777-1797

Pluto will enter Aquarius again in January 2024 for its next twenty year transit until March 2043
(and actually it will briefly enter it for 3 months starting March 23rd, exiting in June this year .. for a bit of preview of what's to come)

Aquarius has come to be known as the sign of revolution in modern times, the water bearer being obviously (at least to me) related to the deluge of the consciousness whelmed under the sub-personal and daemonic forces

good analysis. i will ponder this. i'm not for the forced dystopian acceleration of the raid however this is significant and needs to be thought through.

I'm no historian but is this was the dark ages?

>>54075478
i see two possibilities here

but there's no way things like the internet and instagram just stop... right?

>>54077370
>The palace officials are coming for our fucking bread??? What is next, a series of bad harvests
i understand the response given the raid however i think OP is genuine. sarcasm isn't very constructive - the floods in California have largely affected a strawberry field (source: my memory). I'm not spreading FUD; mostly pointing out this shit could be biblical. Not SVB.... the last few years in general. This is an opportunity for discussion as >>54079089 seems to know

Interesting. But nowadays there's globalism and everyone has to use the dollar, and there's also internet and mass medias to manipulate people's minds. I wonder if the outcome will be the same. At least things are moving fast, and we're living in interesting times.
