Metaphysically, I disbelieve in classically theistic gods, and revealed gods. I believe that most religions cause more harm than good most of the time. However, that said, I prefer ‘secular Catholic’ as an identifier rather than ‘atheist’. However, we in Europe have come to terms with things like secularism—which is not the same thing, at all, as state atheism—and the social safety net.
America, though, seems to be regressing into a hypercapitalist Christian Nationalist dystopia, though.
For billionaires, like Elon Musk, a third-world country is actually what they want. Third world countries are poor, religious and uneducated. In a third-world country, Churches and business are rich… it is only the majority of the country that is starving. Beside every third-world slum, there is a resplendent cathedral and Bishop’s palace. Paying attention to the first few weeks of Trump’s presidency, he seems to be doing everything in his wit and ken to turn America into a 3rd-world Christian theocracy.

Placing Pentecostalist lunatic Paula White as head of a White House “Faith Office” is exactly what we would expect, if Trump and Elon wanted to turn America into a 3rd-world Christian theocracy. And, to reiterate: billionaires, oligarchs and conmen—such as Trump and Elon—love 3rd-World Christian theocracies, because in such a polity, they are completely unaccountable.

Neither Trump nor his followers (or the Woke Democrats!) will get away with it. Finally, after much prediction from Austrian economists, the Big Boys—the Central Banks—are starting to buy tons of gold. Translated this panic into our language, they are dumping dollars. The day when the dollar collapses and is no longer the international reserve currency is no longer so far away…

On this site, a dozen years ago I embedded this trailer for the documentary End of the Road, which also has a segment interviewing Alasdair Macleod: the 2025 interviewee in the link in the post above.
By this year the entire documentary End of the Road has been allowed on YouTube. Despite being from 2013, the fundamentals are still valid, but only now are the ‘prophecies’ of the Austrian school of economics starting to come true…
