I'm terrified, but it might be the only way to fully inspire class consciousness and get out of neocolonial and neoliberal hell in our countries, assuming we do the work

yeah, gotta get a lot of stuff fixed real quick. it's gonna have to be our turn to fend them off now, and they seem to be completely dedicated to this, trying to leave other wars and shit.

we have potential that i see coming up whenever something urgent comes up, but i'm aprehensive with how rooted their ideology already is here. how is resistance going in there?

how successful in their plans do you think milei is being so far?

If we measure success by how hard it is gonna be to undo any of his shit, very successful, unfortunately. He's not popular with the vast majority of the population, even when the media shill for them and act as if things are fine (because the owners love him, naturally). Even then, when Trump said he'd bail us out if we voted Milei, it swayed enough peoplpe for Milei's party to win in most places, which shows how politically illiterate and naive we still are, and unless there's some big scandal most people will probably fall for the same bs again in a couple years when he can be voted out.

I'm mostly trying to educate people atm, as it is now, people still buy myths of meritocracy and other capitalist propaganda, and they even believe the US has amazing companies that make great products, makes me feel insane lol. But again, educating people and forming networks to materially support each other while we work on raising class consciousness may be the best thing we can do. There may be other opportunities I'm not aware of in other places, ex: organizing a particular neighborhood or unionizing, I'm just skeptical we'll get much done as long as false consciousness and propaganda endure, and there's too much to do to even start laying down the ground for more radicalism.

that tracks very similarly to bolsonaro, and the next one. similar playbook it seems.

we got stuff coming our way, be safe as much as you can.

I'm no fan of NK but a more unified island is beneficial to both countries and arguably the entire world.
