Here's the problem with the constant stream of depressing news: you start averting your eyes to stay sane. My first reaction was: "When the fuck did we start bombing Ecuador?!"
Naw, it feeds my hate. Bring it on.
You haven't seen anything yet. The world is going to burn. Sadly. I tried to stop it.
I know. The world is going to change. A lot. Like "post-WW2" a lot. The show isn't over but it'll never look the same.
China will be the global superpower and they're all about that face/reputation. Taiwan is an absolute goner and corporations will be very careful about public statements. The US is gonna look like Putin's Russia: strong men promising a return to the glory days but that's a mathematical impossibility.
Europe will probably look normal? Laid back and still enjoying their retirement from colonialism and starting world wars.
Europe is following the us sadly. Technofeudalism. With tools past tyrants could not dream of.
But, at some point a true leader will emerge in the West and lay waste to the oligarchy, as sure that as sprimg coming.
yeah some of the scariest things to me is I feel europe, canada, austrailia, etc are like just a few steps behind the us and sometimes they are holding the line but the right is pushing like crazy.
Europe, and especially the uk, is ahead of the US in selling out the population to tech companies I am afraid. You see, the problem is the population is dumb as shit. The opposition to Tech is disunited by Design. Until we organize we are fucked and capital letters.
"The right" here being a reactionary movement to change. Tolerance led to immigration, immigration led to poor brown refugees. The US GOP destroyed the global order in a hurry and every country is circling the wagons right now.
European immigration has always been its own thing, compared to the US. It'll get tightened down as part of the fortifying new borders. After that, "the right" will be all about a new Euro identity, distinctly separate from the US. And suddenly nationalism looks cool again to everyone because the US is run by dicks.
I'm not as pessimistic, I still think we have a 50-50 chance, but it is going to take an entirely new approach by the Democrats, and those odds aren't nearly as good.
You say that, I think you know as I know that the Democrats will not take that new approach that is needed. They won't tland trying to get them to do so will only lead to frustration and vitriol, earning nothing but emnity.
You could be entirely correct. I think we'll find out after the Midterms.
We will find out in 2028 when they nominate Gavin Newsom the aristocratic bitch. The midterms will not show us.
Literally my last choice. We have to destroy him in the primaries.
The good news is that the ones who tend to be the front runners going in, flame out fairly quick. Nobody starts out in front and stays there.
Jon stewart, or [redacted] could win, especially the union boss economic populist.
