    I mentioned this in another thread, but might as well develop it here: there’s no “new world order”, it’s “new USA order”. In other words I don’t think that this network state will be able to spread outside USA; it seems to rely too much on USA’s specificities (strong tech centres, and a rather lax gov that allows itself to be toppled).

    And, even if the autocoup succeeds and the network state replaces the United-Statian government, the former will only get a fraction of the power of the later. External actors will intervene and grab their chunks of the pizza; and some power will be simply gone (e.g. international soft power - see Trump taunting Commonwealth, EU, some LatAm countries.)

    I might be wrong, however. Don’t trust too much what I say.
