This is exactly how this dogshit spreads. Same with the hatred laced in Tylenol jokes. I don’t care what undignified ways people internalize their ableism. Get this shit out of my face

Please delete this. Really tired of autism and autists being made into a fucking joke or otherwise objectified.

Fuck AI

The US is currently stealing the largest oil reserves on the planet, worth 4x the GNP of Japan, while already boasting the world’s largest oil production.

Id say they’re buying themselves more than enough time to do permanent damage.

The reaction to Trump is also part of emboldenment. Listen to the chorus of “we are a 3rd world country!” “She was a CITIZEN!”

We can not afford to be fooled by liberal historonics.

But I write none of this as a commentary on hope. I don’t give a shit about giving people hope any more than I care to take it away. Hope simply isn’t my perogative. I think you are fully valid to feel as if life is over, because there is no reason to think our lives aren’t the price of fixing this. I wouldn’t even blame you for saying that cost is too high.

I grew up in a culture of evangelism. I was part of sects that would have you build your own casket before you were sent into the field. You had to forfeit your life for the mission. I’ve never met a single person on the west coast USA that has a comparable attitude when it comes to their convictions, but when I do I might admit to an iota of “hope.”

TOWN HALLS! PHONE CALLS! Lmao

Your belief that those who doubt your tactics are giving up makes you a fascist in my view. If you think the only way forward is to believe in America, then I’m going to pave the future straight over you, and Trump too.

But will the rate of profit falling, which is a tendency and not a law, actually end empire if no one takes action? What actions will people take in the core? Will the global south actually do the magical thing you suggest? I don’t understand what we gain by painting this telelogical end unless we are so hopeless, weak, and vulnerable that we need a heaven/salvation myth forged from a religion of economics to cope with the reality that we have no real grip on history.

I’m not optimistic. Since Trump first mentioned Greenland my intuition is that no one will stop it. I would not be surprised if young folks that scoffed at Trump’s proposal end up taking land claims in Greenland, USA 5 years from now.

I don’t see a scared empire. I see an emboldened one that is looking in the mirror and noticing it’s wardrobe the last few decades is now out of fashion. I don’t see desperation at all. I see a new trend setting. Modernity is not a prison for fascism and it will no longer imprison this empire. The ruling class doesn’t need to play a perfect hand.

There is too great a desire to emasculate fascism and it is fruitless. ICE and DHS are dangerous. They aren’t “larping.” Their equipment is deadly regardless of if someone thinks it is embarrassing. People can only lash out with “eh they don’t look so tough.” This is all I hear when people try to say the empire is magically crumbling and I find it to be an expression of weakness above all.

Can we cut this out? Your language indicates an ontology that sits a mere standard deviation from any run of the mill fascist
