But the essential key difference between this deflation and hyperinflation is that society in Japan has not fallen apart. It has not unraveled. It has continued on in a depressed state, with key functions still operating.

That’s because whatever their faults, the Japanese have not fallen for the dark ring of multiculturalism. They maintain the coherency of a single-race, single-ethnicity polity. We have no such luck.

Perhaps because Whiskey hasn’t been around nobody’s brought race up in the discussion. But if things do go Tango Uniform, the most logical and obvious taking of sides will be by race. Blacks with blacks. Hispanics with hispanics. Easy enough. Whites, being the only group acultured to hate itself, will split along crazy fault lines. Likely the white “elites” will join with one or other minority group against their own racial interests. In which case even if they win, they’ll lose shortly thereafter.

Well enough of this grim thinking. Let’s hope the grinding wheel starts to slow after November.
