I listened to that episode of Rania Khalek Dispatches that Matt Christman was on recently.
At some point in the episode, he posits that the US has reached an irreconcilable dichotomy between the two political parties whose only meaningful distinctions are in the realm of social issues as the very notion of class solidarity has been decimated in the country. The parties highlight the conflict between finance capital and resource extraction capital. Now that the system is breaking down so thoroughly, both parties seem committed to one thing; War with China.
Which is interesting because Matt has, to the best of my recollection, held that war with China is an impossibility because of how interlinked the economies are. Well, we're making them less linked!
Good point. I used to think war with China was impossible for economic reasons as well.
But, post-COVID, post-Russia sanctions, and post-Brandon, I think he's recognized the doom cult nature of the US and the West. Rather than reducing tensions with China that were ramped up under Trump, Brandon is only pushing things further by promising military action to "defend" Taiwan, which I have a feeling the US would love to turn into South Korea 2. Chuds are drunk on muh ebil seeseepee commies r takin my bideo games and libs are high on the state department's agitprop. Other than lefties and maybe some real old ass cold warriors, I don't see a constituency to oppose a war.
So I re-watched the entire thing to pull out some quotes. It's Matt so you know there's a huge lead in that starts HERE but it's really at 33:30 to 34:00 where he presents it.

Has he specifically vocalized a change in opinion? I'm legit curious because he was adamant
