What the fuck are you going to do. Do you want to try and start an embargo against the only place you get your shit from? Good luck getting your Dick Sucker Portable for $6.50 landed anywhere else. I'm sure there are better examples but it's such a clear indicator of how weak the US has gotten that another country can just tell them this publicly to get fucked.
Less people should vote. There's no input we have no matter who we vote for, so all this does is continue to degrade faith in this rotting corpse of a country.
There's like 5 of those already and 9/11 still happened
I guess the panopticon gotten more tools but there's already tons of infighting between three letter agencies who have a vested interest in setting up handicapped 14 year olds. Instead of consolidating their power and information under one umbrella, they're willing to cut into their own effectiveness to justify an even larger military budget.
I would love to see the propaganda campaigns from both parties, trying to condemn each other. Cruelty Squad Russiagate nonsense. So many names the 40 most mentally ill news website commentors would expect you to hold in the same level of importance as Linclon.
Delta airlines will never allow a single bomb to touch an airstrip they're connected to.
The two main boogymen of post-cataclysm US (nuclear war or facism) don't really scare me because the state is totally captured by capital and will only act in ways that support short term profit. It's why I don't see a military conflict in the first place, it would probably accompany cutting off all trade with China, which would end the United States in a month. So it would come down to China deciding to provoke the US, which it also does not want to do.
I also don't see a facist movement taking off in the same way because:
They won, we are already the 4th Reich.
The dipshits who don't get it (see: the """grassroots""" right of the 2010s) are very small in number, are constantly infighting and are controlled from the top down by the state.
The main ideological movement that it could draw support from (Qanon) are piss drinkers who have been committing ritual suicide for the past two years
The sort of redistribution and basic upkeep of existing services needed to manufacture the consent of an explicitly facist US would, again, not be allowed by Delta Airlines.
Killing your kids and starting the second great recession is not good for business a year from now. It isn't good six months from now. But it'll let you party for the next two weeks, and whatever happens after might as well not be real.
If the gnostics are right and God is a cruel monster. Which like, isn't out the question.
I think we're praying for a blowout as a massive reaction against Biden's genocidal policies. Even better if voting participation just drops like a rock. I still find it difficult to discount the possibility that we live in hell and they'll manage to hold onto a single legislative branch after a close group of races with record participation.
That being said, if the fed does induce a recession to fight rising wages and a labor force with more wriggle room (which seems to be the plan), they're probably worse off than after announcing that they hope your child chokes to death on a ventilator. 2020 was probably supposed to be worse than 2008, but we poomped our way out of that for awhile. It's now looking like it'd be a much more severe crash combined with the most conservative response yet.
That'll never not be funny to me
