I guess we’ll see, but I do think people will start adapting to their new reality out of necessity.

I really think it’ll depend on how bad the employment situation gets. At some point people are going to start realizing they’re not temporarily inconvenienced billionaires, and that their interests aren’t aligned with the oligarchs. Software devs have been largely insulated from general economic problems until recently. Getting a job has been relatively easy, the pay was way above what most people make, and that fed individualistic behavior. Now that jobs are becoming scarce, and there’s a huge pool of laid off workers, people are starting to get concerned.

wonder when software devs will get serious about unionizing

I’m going to predict that regime change will happen as a result of this… in the west.

the world is healing

basically, large capitalists will buy up the assets from failed companies and make bank

Trump just didn’t magically appear out of a different dimension, and opportunists like him were always there. What changed was that the material conditions declined to a point where large swaths of the public lost faith in mainstream politics. They never recovered from the 2008 crisis when Obama bailed out the banks and left the public hanging. That set up the stage for the first Trump victory where he campaigned on draining the swamp. Then they were hit by the pandemic, and the proxy war in Ukraine under Biden. And the anger at the collapsing standard of living, lack of jobs, housing, and healthcare started driving people over the edge. And that’s the America we see today. One ripe for a conman to tell people how he’ll magically fix everything. But make no mistake, all this is a product of liberal politics working over many decades.

Trump is now begging NATO vassals to join in the war because the US is getting their ass kicked.

I’m getting second hand embarrassment watching him beg Xi to fix his mess.

Graham, Bolton, and plenty of other ghouls have been craving this war for decades. They’re all jizzing themselves live on cable right now.

if libs had even the barest reading comprehension then they wouldn’t be libs anymore

the worst of crimes

did you read the comment I replied to, also liberals are not the left

meanwhile, wakko is still the world’s leading ignoramus

And don’t forget that China has billionaires!

Propaganda is just messaging, there’s nothing inherently evil about it. The question is what message is being propagated.

“To decide once every few years which member of the ruling class is to repress and crush the people through parliament - such is the real essence of bourgeois parliamentarianism, not only in parliamentary-constitutional monarchies, but also in the most democratic republics.”

― Vladimir Lenin, The State and Revolution

all anarchists are incoherent

Israel using nukes is a very plausible scenario. There’s a great interview with Postol that I can highly recommend if you haven’t watched it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbQI_IYz6uM
