Yah it will get you Tankiepoints™ out the wazoo to say you pray for the collapse of the USA but with every other country’s economy tied to the US dollar, that outcome will be less than ideal when you want to go to your local market and buy food or medicine in almost every other country on Earth.
I get downvotes when I remind people of this fact like I’m making an argument for something. Talk to your local leaders about why they have invested so much in the US, not me.
Which is also a cute segue to remind people that all the loot and cash that Trump’s people are scooting out the back door of our treasury? That’s YOUR money also Mr and Mrs Europe, Canada, Mexico, etc.
Of the half billion or so actual joined-an-org-and-doing-work communists, the number who are fans of such a niche videogame category is basically a rounding error, and being a furry is even less common.
I’ve read more than one economist say there’s less than a year left of the dollar being the world reserve currency. Whatever timeframe I am not sure, but it’s definitely not a forever thing.
I mean, if the US dollar does collapse it certainly won’t be a forever thing, but the people with the most money in the world have a LOT of resources to keep things the way they are. I’ll be surprised if the keepers of the cash let the cash become devalued.
The wealthy don’t keep much cash. I’m pretty sure Trump has said that he wants a weaker dollar, or at least implied it. I’ve heard some people speculate that the admin is purposely trying to end the dollar’s status as the world’s de facto reserve currency. If they’re serious about bringing most manufacturing back to the US, the dollar needs devalued, and real wages need to plummet. The admin is also heavily involved in crypto schemes.
Almost every currency, crypto included is valued against the USD, I just don’t see everyone moving to dogecoins if suddenly it costs $340,000 to buy a hamburger. There is very real incentive to throw every possible resource behind keeping the middle-class complacent and comfortable for as long as possible.

Yeah, US collapse means a billion people die as a result of the global economic collapse that would result.
I get exhausted on Lemmy in particular trying to explain to the nihilistic, cynical teens here that such an outcome would in fact, be a bad thing.
Can I redeem my Tankiepoints at a participating retailers whenever I want, or do they expire eventually?
In the Hearts Of Iron IV store you can trade them to have your custom fursona painted on the side of your SU-122.

But I think I know every one of them.
