Key Notes
Jiang separates Trump from the American Empire: Trump can appear to seek regime change while ultimately using imperial overreach to intensify the conflict between America First and the empire.
Jiang argues that even if elites have a plan, Trump and Putin retain agency and can make the plan unfold less seamlessly than a scripted theory predicts.
Jiang says global elites view eight billion aspiring middle-class lives as ecologically and politically unsustainable, which makes radical depopulation seem like rational stewardship from their perspective.
Jiang says the present moment is special because the previously dominant global elite is under strain after shocks such as Brexit and the rise of Trump, opening space for long-waiting eschatological factions.
