Everyone should just give up on america at this point. Its a rotten place that wont reform for the good. Its people are so docile that they wont do anything unless you turn off their porn. Ameircans found out about epstein class and did nothing about it. Their protests are just peaceful parades that dont do anything. Theyre general strikes are just 1 hour long. Its a horrible country which daily terrorizes other countries for fun and its population is so depressed that they dont give a shit about any of that and they dont even care whats happening to each other and they dont care if pedophiles are ruling over them, they dont care about being lied to since they where born, theyd rather go to brunch or just watch some netflix garbage. Maybe im being pessimistic, but idk i think im being realistic and i feel justifies having this kind of attitude towards the empire and the people who live in it.

All of this simply shows that conditions have not yet deteriorated to a sufficient point where people in the imperial core are forced to develop class consciousness en masse. There is still too much comfort, it is still possible to go on as if nothing is happening because it's not yet a life or death situation for most people. The good news is that this will change. As the empire loses more and more battles and begins to recede and turn inward, and as the global south rises alongside China, the possibility for extraction of super profits with which to bribe imperial core populations will dwindle. At that point the labor aristocracy of the imperial core will slide into true proletarianization and existential precariousness which will force an awakening.

TL;DR: you have to look at things dialectically. Everything is in a state of flow and change. What is true today will not necessarily be true tomorrow.
