It’s somewhere in between, I want it to be very grounded but also still considering some of the crazy shit that’s entirely possible.

To be brief, it’s basically like Cyberpunk + The Fire Rises (HOI4 mod) + Pantheon, it’s a recovering post collapse world where most of the recovery is being facilitated by AI.

It’s sort of like post cyberpunk, maybe urban solarpunk? If you lived in the US you wouldn’t have access to the same luxuries of globalization anymore, at least to the same extent, infrastructure would be crumbled, there would be no federal structure, but communities would still make do and build on top of the ruins of capital. Whereas cyberpunk is high tech low life this scenario would be high tech high life but no fucking infrastructure

I’m not the best person to explain landback so I’ll just share my perspective and how I might approach it:

I think the main priority should always be first and foremost the improvement of material conditions and the establishment of a DOTP. But after the DOTP is this is how I think it should be done:

Ideal solution: I think the US should be completely dismantled and replaced with a EU style mutual protection mechanism, something of a confederation, and it would be made up of fully sovereign bioregional federations.

The borders of these countries would be purely geographical, and the subdivisions would be based on the territories of the countries that were here prior. The boundaries would be drawn in whole or with great collaboration with indigenous people.

The main priority of landback from what I’ve picked up talking to indigenous people is for the land to be respected, the land should not be seen as a resource to be exploited.

As for what to do with the settlers I personally hold a more radical perspective; ALL settlers must assimilate into the culture and customs of the land they occupy to a reasonable extent, it should be similar to if you as an American moved to Asia or Africa, I believe the only way for true reconciliation to be archived is for indigenous countries to be seen as what they are, countries. Nation states formed around common ethnicity, culture, and language. And I don’t think assimilation would be that difficult as it has happened many times in the past, including Cascadia, some initial eastern settlements, Cajun culture, Mexico, and to a lesser extent African Americans as even though they aren’t assimilated to any native cultures they were brought here against their will so I think they also deserve special consideration.

But at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter what I think, this should be up to the people who actually have thousands of years of history with this land to decide how it functions, maybe that won’t even be necessary and a superintelligent AI could create some perfect solution, idk. But as settlers I think the first step is just recognizing that we are indeed settlers, that this is not our home, and if we want to still call this place home we should be invited as equals. And the material conditions and liberation of the proletariat will always remain the absolute most important initial goal of a revolution, I’d prefer natives be comfortable and equal members of society even if they are stateless then to have a state but be neglected by their leaders and exploited by foreign capital, our goal is not to create another situation like “post colonization” Africa (it’s not really post colonial).

Hey Oppo, did you ever manage to Find X?

Wallahi my sleep schedule is cooked

I finally deleted all the social media apps off my phone because my ADHD leads me to use that effortless means of dopamine instead of genuinely fulfilling things and it just got so absurd recently

Im working on a map project for the near future (2050) if anyone has any cool ideas for countries and such in that scenario lmk

Have a good Monday comrades and here’s an Evil for morale

I personally rarely ever use LLM’s as chatbots, but I can’t really say your use case isn’t valid because I’m absurdly parasocial towards the Neuro twins lmfao

Qwen doesn’t really try to upsell either tbh

It would be kinda funny tho if every state kept its nukes, a North Dakota-Missouri nuclear standoff would be crazy
