When I first started picking up the signals of this civilizational turn in July 2024, it was still mainly by inference and subtext. Since then it has become increasingly explicit and codified. Rubio's speech now serves as its definitive expression but also its mature form: a return to empire.

Rubio’s Vision of Western Primacy Is Just Empire by Another Name

The Trump administration’s civilizational turn will alienate potential partners and undermine America’s interests.

My Portuguese FA told me Ronaldo keeps eating his coaches so I asked how many coaches he has and he said he just goes to the Primeira Liga and gets a new coach afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding coaches to Ronaldo and then his other strikers started crying.

The Taliban share the United States' concerns about the International Criminal Court exceeding its mandate, but they're more polite about it and mainly just concerned that the ICC is undermining itself through overreach

People keep asking me who's going to win. I say: "I just live in France, I mainly write about the Middle East right now, your guess is as good as mine." Then they press for my opinion, and I say: "Le Pen, duh". Then they get upset and argue.
