I know the admins are aware, but the sort by hot algorithm is so whack lol
Sorry, I can't hear you from my place atop the glorious new/all high horse.
Turns out a site built for a post every few hours wasn't ready for all these libs.
Just to make sure: this really is the terminal decline of the US empire, right? This seems so obvious, but it's always right below the surface of discussion, never really analysed.
Everything seems to be pointing in that direction, but everything is also so fucked that it's hard to tell exactly what is objectively happening and how much is just emotional impressions reinforced by internet and media noise.
It's the end but we don't know if it's the beginning of the end, the middle of the end, or the end of the end. The end could have began on 9/11, the Iraq War, Vietnam, Reagan, the solidifying of neoliberal hegemony (taking a big swing with that word, not sure if I'm using it correctly), or things will continue to decline for 30 more years.
Rome didn't fall in a day!
the real inflection point, I think, is going to be when the US dollar loses global reserve status
Other than failing to get new imperial projects underway for the last few years because Trump has the attention span of a flea, I don't see much going poorly for the empire. Any hawkish president could catch it up over the course of their term. I don't see it encountering any real opposition until China's international infrastructure projects get much further along.
But on the home front, the US's ability to continue functioning as a state is in decline. Which is even more exciting.
imo the imperialism of the US will be the most unharmed from all this. Would not be surprised at all if the ruling class just says "fuck it" and goes to war next year because its "good for the economy" (it isnt).

Crossing my fingers that comrade rona swings 3 for 3
Enhanced unemployment extension failed in congress. 21% of renter households paid no rent in July, and 39% are at risk of eviction. That's 17.3 million renter households out of 44 million.
Collapse
This time will be different because we are going to privatise social security and the post office, don’t you know?
holy shit i missed the chapos
deleted my reddit the day of the ban
been off twitter for like a year-ish now
tried that...uh....other place, but the top posts get like maybe 5 comments if you're lucky, and as someone whomst is still trying to figure out what theory to ascribe to (and is leaning more M-L), it's weirdly......hostile? anyways this place better be as cool as r/cth or else i might be forced to log off completely
30 million Americans are about to see a 50-70% reduction in their incomes as unemployment benefits expire tomorrow. Unreal.
every one across the nation has been chanting some version of 'peace-ful-pro-test' only to be brutalized by rubber bullets and chemical agents
let's try the chants of 'un-peace-ful-pro-test'. what's the worst that can happen? rubber bullets and chemical agents? :brain::thinking face:
Tfw I post good info debunking a lot of the misinformation regarding the Uyghur situation on my instagram, and a muslim friend of mine goes on a tirade and proceeds to send me..all the information that was debunked
No, I guess she hosted the World Uyghur Congress at her university for a speech on it, so she kept insisting “Nonono I have FRIENDS from there!!! They say a bajillion people are DEAD! DEEAD!!”. And I was like “Are these actual friends you know or people from the WUC or another org”, and she was like “The WUC but I became FRIENDS with them!”. Then she proceeded to send me a bunch of instagram posts claiming to have info on the situation, with all of them having the debunked pictures and Adrien Zenz talking points. Also kept insisting China was trying to eradicate Islam which idk where that comes from. Then she went on about China’s “occupation” of East Turkestan, Taiwan, Tibet and Hong Kong and at the point I just let the friendship die. Fuck that separatism neonationalism bs.
We need like a matrix style thingy that downloads the entirely of socialist and communist theory into your brain in like 5 minutes. Then you wake up and debate Morpheus in a VR marketplace of ideas.
bruh he had a degree in math but was still too brain dead to wear a mask.
A tad late but finally a place where I can post my deft political wisdom: CHEETO PRESIDENT BAD.
Almost got banned from a Harry Potter fan group cause I called JKR a TERF. I am disappointed that I did not get fully banned, and accept that I am a lib. I am also disappointed cause a good friend of mine from highschool thinks JKR actually has a point and will still defend her cause the hate she received. Just so you know - JKR is a TERF. Hope she dies alone.
