Trump is betraying his base. But at the victory speech he said, We going to deport a lot of people and bring a lot of people in. Few heard that part. I did though. And here we are.
What Trump might have meant/said and immigrant visas/sociopolitical engineering nuance aside, it's also about economic growth or, in the face of economic/energy decline (and the wars abroad about it), a kind of 'Red Queen' running and progressive increases in the speed, just to stay in one place.
Ron Anselmo mentioned to me in a previous thread the 'classic' 'immigrants living 8 to a one-bedroom apartment/flat', though neither of us mentioned the monied ones who also immigrate. Our bad.
Money's energy; energy's money. The MIC helps ensure that 'Am-a gonna git me some.'. Petrodollar; BRICS+.
Over here, we had a small relatively-run-down district not too many years ago that's now all spit-and-polish and full of cafes and restos and immigrants owning, running and frequenting them. That's taxes and fees, etc., in the governments' eyes/pockets-- who cares about the quasi-original, in part so-called 'White' or 'Black', locals. They proved their 'worth' by in part falling off the wagon and onto the streets to remain for a time.
Tokens aside, the Musk, Trump, Vivek, etc. clique are about maintaining, for as long as possible, the status-quo that they benefit from, being 'elite businessmen/parasites' and all that.
Ultimately, the MAGA crowd may find that they're at odds with that, with the status-quo-- itself now beginning to hit the rocks against the new incoming surf.
Oh ya, one other thing, maybe more: I looked up, maybe 10 or so years ago, what the deal was with Elon and found that he simply lucked-out with Dad giving him about $27 000; Compaq (before disappearing) buying his biz for an insane amount and then government-- you know, The People?-- giving him yet much more for much of what he's now generally known for. (Maybe a similar story with Trump.)
But he has relatively very little skin in the game per se, or boots on the ground. (That's why he can dick around on X.) That belongs to those who work/slave for him...
Which, naturally, feeds back into what I just started with in this comment...
And, too, as you write, here we are.
The People own most everything that Musk is known and takes the credit for, they just don't realize it.
Are the immigrants, Musk et al. and their wage-slaves helping to pay our monthly benefits and/or proto-Universal Basic Incomes? And do we have enough to purchase all their gizmos to boot (never mind a patch of poor land and a humble house)?
I had to look up the Dos Equis reference, since we don't appear to have or have had those cute commercials up here. At the same time, however, I am unsure what you mean by 4-d chess. Then again, if I'm like that guy in the commercials, I suppose I could be playing it and not realize it and chalk any 'wins' up to a kind of Peewee Hermanesque 'I meant to do that.'.
Ron, if we make an internal case to hack/question reality as often as we can, if only intellectually/perceptually, though ideally, practically (so the 'movers-and-shakers' get less leg-ups on our asses), we can be like Neo of The Matrix who finally manages to unplug from the manufactured society whose allegory is/was the Matrix. It's my favourite film because of that.
5:00 pm 2025 and I'm still drinking... but unlike our Dos Equis cherry-poppin' daddy's (apparently of course), it's one of those 'faggy' drinks that our late-teen hood used to call them as friendly jabs. I like to think I balance it out, though, by the fact that I can do my own cider and moonshine-- and wine or mead if I tried. So I like to think I've earned my 'faggy' drinks dammit...
But here's a thought: Where would a Long Island Iced Tea be on the drink-gender-preference spectrum? Harvey Wallbanger? Rusty Nail? Margarita? Salt on her rim or sugar? 'Who/What you be bangin' with that rusty nail?' And therein, too, lies an example of the gist of the reality-hack...
If you think it's a good idea to discuss these kinds of things over a crackling fire beyond a certain latitude, how about if it's just one 'node'-- in that case, the allergorical cafe/teahouse-- of a growing string of nodes all around the world that hoover up increasing and willing participants and slowly eat the State like a beneficial cancer?
Zazzy - I know I told you a while back, some of your stuff is funny AF, some flows for me, and some melts my brain.
The above is funny AF - the drinking at 5:00 (not starting, because "It's 5:00 somewhere!"), but "still drinking" at 5:00, making you a confessed "day drinker", and the "faggy" drinks and the inquiry into drink-gender preference spectrum are classic. But seriously worth deeper discussion at the cafe.
But your post in it's entirety, is my the brain-melt spectrum - low end though - so I think I get your larger thesis.
I'm definitely down with the cafe/teahouse's being nodes to eat the State. More enjoyable and not nearly as kinetic as my usual preference. I'm open to site suggestions.
After being "cancelled" by our local newspaper and being personally set up and attacked by them on what was then Twitter, after having 25+ letters published (the paper took a hard left turn after being bought out by USA Today (Gannett)), my last public forum for exercising my First Amendment rights in written form, is my back windshield.
It currently states, "Free the J6 Political Prisoners". However, my thinking for the next installment is, "Break the State". So, we're on the same page, I'm just defaulting to my more kinetic roots.
We live in a small town here - half the people think I'm crazy - and the other half are certain of it. And yes, The Matrix is instructive - a favorite of mine as well.

I think there's something to be said about where/when someone finds out about things not normally within the normal sphere/scope of knowledge and understanding, it can affect their behavior and/or perceived behavior, perhaps almost by necessity.
Like unplugging from the Matrix and sort of freaking out about the 'new' reality that always was, and then on top of that, having to jack back into the unreality for one reason or another.
The folks 'trapped' in it and going along with it almost like they're sleepwalking might see you quite differently, as they should perhaps. Certainly, expressing one's freedoms in those sorts of contexts can take courage and fortitude.
Lastly, if you know engineering, then you likely know the math that if you're crazy in a crazy society, then the two cancel out and you're left with you being likely sane. IOW, crazy ├╖ crazy = sane.

The reason I'm in America along with so many critical people
who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that
made America strong is because of HI B.
Take a big step back and FUCK YOURSELF in the face. I will go
to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly
comprehend.

Elon is threatening White America just like Biden did. And the Orange Retard is going along with it. We are betrayed.
Did the US just import over the past 4 years an excess of immigrants as Trump ran his campaign in part on sending many back?

Then life is good. Carry on, peon.
Zazzy - playing that 4-D Chess again, are you? Interesting thought, not surprising, you're an interesting man, do you drink Dos Equis?
