Yeah, this kinda thing is ugly, and it is the end of something. It's the end of our shitty leftist institutions (and they are panicking about that). But, as with deflation, it presents the rest of us with a stellar opportunity to grow out of this. It's just not the end of the world. Or even the US.

How much will the leftist bubble deflating have a lasting impact? It seems to me that enough people are obsessed and deluded enough that it could easily reinflate.

Jesus, sorry for the late response.

The leftist bubble deflating will have a lasting impact because because, long story short: technology, economics, and the decentralization of firepower are going to cause a major changing of the elites in the world, and will cause a necessary liberalization of social and political structures to deal with that change.

Leftists will still re-ignite (they always do), but the whole geo-political landscape is going to shift under their feet.
