This is what I've been telling the accelerationists for a decade. You don't know what's going to step in and fill the political vacuum (I mean, we do now and it's angry white men playing at being gangsters) but I guaran-fucking-tee you it's not going to be the social democracy or socialist utopia that leftists want. It's going to be a bunch of thugs looting and burning govt for personal gain.

But THIS time the people will SEE and then the neoliberals won't have any support and the proletariat will finally rise up!

The proletariat: exhausted cricket noises

I think you're right. It could seem worth it in the end, but not for a long while and maybe only in the perception of a future generation.

Did you guys know that this fiasco unfolded under a bust of Winston Churchill?

Double irony here.

“You’re all dressed up today,” Trump said sarcastically.

Check out Churchill's outfit during a war time visit to the White House

I feel sick that was so goddamned embarrassing. And all of the demented rapist’s toadies climbing over each other to stick their tongues in it.

Jesus fucked up Christ

W Bush was the collapse, this is the looting

The supreme court handing the Florida election to W was the tipping point. We still could have pulled ourselves out of the shit at that point. It would have been ugly and Republicans would have fought it every step of the way but that was the opportunity before the far right media networks had consolidated their holds on radio and TV.

I'm sorry, how is the hegemony collapsing? The ruling class is still ruling; and that's kind of the problem.

The US ruling class is losing its allies it projected hegemony onto.

[–] slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

The us ruling class has its allies holding power in every branch of government. And is both projecting and subject to global hegemony.

The US ruling class is losing its international allies it projected hegemony onto.
