Also Golwalkar is 100% pro-nazi, he only went against them later for gains.
"German Race pride has now become the topic of the day. To keep up the purity of the race and its culture, Germany shocked the world by her purging the country of the Semitic races -- the Jews. Race pride at its highest has been manifested here. Germany has also shown how well-nigh impossible it is for races and cultures, having differences going to the root, to be assimilated into one united whole, a good lesson for us in Hindusthan to learn and profit by." (Golwalkar, MS, “We Or Our Nationhood Defined”, Nagpur, 1939, p. 45)
In general maybe, but if you were selling something online and received bitcoin on a wallet not associated with your irl identity you can be anonymous, its just not practical because you need to de-anonymize to get that into actual cash unless you really know what you are doing.
Its not that, its more the general feeling of an american decline and an obsession on knowing how it will end.
Doomer feelings are growing more prevalent as out population becomes more divided and our monetary situation grows worse.
Many americans feel that our "American Empire" that dominated world politics is losing ground fast and there is a need to cope by being "smart" and swearing you know how it will happen.
Its pure copium, but it feels good to cope and feel an illusion of control.
TL;DR: its a need for control in worsening times, not hatred, that drives the doomer theories of an American collapse.
furthermore they tend to push harder against sanctions when they happen.
many of the most well known sanctioned nations (north korea, iran, turkiye, etc.) have just made their own stuff to varying degrees, based on how much they aren't allowed to buy.
furthermore bigger nations like china can fire back hard if need be.
we saw how europe's sanctions against russia were met with gas denial.
all in all, sanctions usually don't do much outside of wartime other than piss off the target of said sanctions, and actually push them to rely on you less.
If the russians use small yield nukes not much bigger than regular missiles I really doubt any nato response would happen.
The reality is a response is a possible avenue to real nuclear war, its stupid to basically commit suicide like that.
Russia wouldn't dare let anything reach the rest of europe, any nukes they use are almost certainly going to be small yield which nato wouldn't bother responding too, they are about as big as regular missiles.
