    I really wish the best for the all the yank chapos but the US doing a Soviet-block-in-the-nineties would be so nice to watch.

    But then I realize it already happened, but in more time and with some lube. I think they already fully knew back then that "neoliberal shock treatment" is catastrophic and used it as a weapon of mass destruction.

    Neoliberals and its consequences have been the ultimate disaster for the human race.

      The problem is that the US collapse is almost certainly going to be worse.

      Instantly a bunch of fascist nuclear armed assholes with an apocalypse fetish.

      Plus the conditions would be ripe for genocides.

      It’s terrifying. Nonetheless, death to Amerikkka.

          "It's not life, it's just existence."

          How poignant. Unbelievable how many people work away most their lives, watch TV a bit with the little spare time they get, and think "yep this is definitely as good as it gets, this is peak humanity."

          Yeah wasn’t trying to downplay the horrible aftermath of the USSR collapsing.

            Not at all, it's that I just saw that image and had to share it.

            And yes, I don't know how the nuclear arsenal of the URSS didn't end up "lost", but in a US balkanization shit would get nasty

        Or it won't happen because the remains of the USSR didn't collapse further. Maybe this is the final, black hole late stage of things. Only climate apocalypse can "save" us.
