Years ago I started thinking that the rich people of the world don't have a homeland in the traditional sense like normal people who live in countries.

Years ago I started thinking that the rich people of the world don't have a homeland in the traditional sense like normal people who live in countries. Billionaires from all over the world live in Billionaire Land; the Elmos and Dubai oil money and rich dictators are all in a club where they play games. When the well-off connected people from Finland's National Coalition meet with GOP or the Heritage Foundation, it's not international diplomacy, it's rich and powerful people meeting in the unmaterial states of the rich and powerful. They have absolutely no sense or obligation for their countries. It's all just games to get more money, more power, more ability to dictate how the future plays out.

And when this week's Epstein files came out it just so clearly illustrated the truth behind me thesis (which curiously was based on observing how international sports people have more community with each other and base their identity on that group, rather than the flag they represent in a competition that you can see in tv in the bottom corner.)

It's also weird how this is not at all a new thing. National states didn't really become a thing before the 19th century, but before that we had capitalists who owned businesses, and for example factory owners in Finland in the early 20th century were horrified with the idea of an independent Finland, because living in a small country meant a smaller market to operate in. If the Björn Wahrooses of this country had their way, Finland would not exist, but would be a part of Germany, or Russia, or maybe even a weird 51st state of the United States (just looking at the performating groveling the government does this is not far fetched.)

But it's interesting that the Epstein gang wants to drive this idea of Tribalism. I want to know what they mean when they talk about how great it is when Brexit happens. It's obvious though that they don't at the same time want the US to fall apart. Is this more about dismantling Democracy, actually, and just setting up techno feudalism? Curious.
