Political upheaval doesn't always translate into economic collapse, nor does it guarantee growth. The relationship is far messier than that. We've seen democratic transitions fail to unlock prosperity, sometimes even sparking stagflation or prolonged recessions. The outcome depends heavily on institutional strength, policy continuity, and whether markets can price in the uncertainty. For investors watching macro cycles, these shocks create both tail risks and opportunities—but the aftermath is rarely predictable.

Political turmoil ≠ economic collapse, I accept this logic. But the real question is, who can accurately predict how the market will react? The strength of the system sounds impressive, but how about execution?

Political chaos leads to economic collapse? Wake up, reality isn't that simple. Institutional strength and policy continuity are the real key factors; whether the market can absorb uncertainty determines life or death. In plain terms, it's a game of probabilities—opportunities and risks are often hidden in the same box, and whoever can grasp them wins.

Political turmoil ≠ economic collapse, nor does it necessarily lead to growth. It all depends on whether the institutional foundation is solid enough and whether policies can be sustained... The uncertainties that the market cannot price in are the real snipers.

Does political chaos really directly impact the economy? It seems more like it depends on how strong the system is. Sometimes, after all the fuss, the market just absorbs it on its own.

Political turmoil causes the economy to collapse? That's funny. The key still depends on whether the system is strong and whether policies are consistent... Market pricing ability is the real test of competitiveness.

Will political chaos necessarily lead to economic collapse? Nonsense, last year those countries were still doing well... The key still depends on whether the system is strong enough and whether policies are coherent. If the market can truly absorb this kind of uncertainty, it might actually be a good time to buy the dip, but who the hell can predict accurately? That's why we call it a black swan.
