MODERATORS
before covid i would have said no, but the rate at which things are deteriorating has accelerated massively in the last five or so years.
the critical indicator imo is food prices compared to incomes. if a critical mass of people can no longer afford to eat, even the most severe reaction won't be able to maintain order. it really does come down to when the capitalists are stupid enough to let enough people starve
Death to America
When people start starving they're just gonna go shoot their neighbor.
And if it's a chud shooting anybody left of George Bush they'll get away with it.
only if the left in america (such as it is) continues to not organize at all. but that's not necessarily a given, especially considering that the conditions and events that cause widespread hunger will be the very same conditions and events that make organizing easier
