This is so accurate it pisses me off
Reading tea leaves a bit here, but could be signs Trump is really struggling to unite the capitalist class potentially? Can't find a path that appeals to all factions?
Also if China tried to flex that kind of power I find it hard to believe the US wouldn't start a war over that either. The US is itching to pull the trigger and I will not fault anyone who is trying to avoid war, especially knowing it would be a horrific WW3 situation
The paradigm we are taught is that if oppressed people are "deserving" enough and suffer to a sufficient degree our kind-hearted overlords will change things and "make them right." We are taught that liberation rests upon the goodness of our rulers and it is not up to us regular people to decide.
You say yourself that fascism is creeping in again; fascism is capital's response to mortal threat. Things are not going well for the west, 2008 was a mortal wound that is still bleeding out the US world order. The new world struggles to be born, shouldn't that be reason for optimism?
It's always like this anytime something bad happens. Even when Russia has clearly been in control of the war people doom over every setback. This is also very bad so I can't blame people too much
"I recognize that the bigotry they face is gross, but I am unwilling to abandon my fascistic worldview so I don't want anything to fundamentally change"
He is just straight up a eugenicist that couches it in reactionary liberal optimism
Things have gotten really bad since Israel escalated their war against Iran in terms of shitty doomposting
