Yeah, maybe I should have just posted the article and forced people to read it. I hoped people would make the connection between BRICS not saving the Palestinians and BRICS not saving them, but we’ll get em next time

China simply has to import from the rest of the world and give up its net exporter status (IMF export-led growth model).
And what a fanfare it was.
I see a distinction between doom occurring (inevitable) and being doomed (final state). We agree
I didn’t point to the Palestinians to say this is exactly what to do, I did it to say we can’t just throw our hands in the air and say “we’re cooked,” that people can organize and fight back in worse circumstances and being in the imperial core doesn’t change that. Extremely unlikely, obviously. I didn’t say it was easy, barbarism is looking a lot more possible than the alternative. But it doesn’t give first worlders an excuse to sit on our hands. I’m not sure where we disagree. Does communism being supremely unlikely make us change our political positions?
You’re telling me this for the first time
Do you disagree with the original article? Do you disagree with climate change and the millions that will die on our current trajectory?
Exercise healthy skepticism, as with all modern war
If the alternative to “China and a spectrum of shitty to non-shitty countries will not impose socialism for us westerners,” is “we are doomed,” then idk what to tell you. What are the Palestinians doing? They aren’t waiting for BRICS to mobilize, they’re calling for the world to act, and while the world doesn’t, they act. Climate change and capitalism are existential threats and should be treated as such
BO2 was the last good CoD and eerily prescient with its drone talk
From last year, but relevant. BRICS isn’t saving anybody, we have to save ourselves. All Xi’s talk about international law and global governance is unfortunately made moot by the blind eye turned to the genocide

And I’m saying that’s necessary but not sufficient for surviving traumatic global crises that we’re going to experience in coming decades
Very genuine interpretation of what I’ve written.
Just call me a fed, it’s less words and more direct
Reply to XHS btw, I notice you left that one alone
