i didn't mean to dunk on you i just believe it's foolish to think that we're in a time of declining unrest of all things. the empire cannot project power like it once could and it seems the american bourgoisie have finally recognized the writing on the wall - western imperialism is beginning to collapse and they cannot keep the domestic populace under control with even a mild decrease in exploitation of the periphery. no matter what happens with the rise of the chinese and the effects of climate change coming due chaos is in our future and domestic revolts will only intensify until something gives one way or the other.

It’s not like the BLM protests were majority leftists

the US isn't going to be brought down by leftists; it's a pipe dream. it isn't going to last long enough for us to get our shit together while under the fed's thumb. it'll be dealt its deathblow by an overexploited proletariat regardless of their ideology however - and i imagine most of us are salivating at the thought of how easy it would be to radicalize the american populace in a world where there is no federal government.

neither the bolsheviks nor the chinese communists seized power during times of stability. they ruthlessly exploited periods of global upheaval that were out of their control. we will do the same.
