Not to co-opt this, but you bring up an interesting point on the population being cooked. Not necessarily in an “everyone’s an idiot except us” sense, but just from how prevalent right-wing propaganda is, and the fact the average imperial core member is aware of and on board with the state of things. As Comrade Sinclair once said “it is impossible to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding of it.”
This is especially true here in the great satan I believe, where education is dropping and we are materially one of the worst off working classes in the “developed” world. The imperial boomerang is a way of life here, and the average citizen wouldn’t have it any other way. I argued this before, but to me it feels like the US is becoming a colony for international bourgeoisie as well as a colonizing force. Europe and Canada can offset more and more of their exploitation to the US, who are happy to be exploited and controlled by a powerful military force and Europe can wipe its hands clean of any wrongdoing.
I am optimistic about people though. You tell the most far right asshole you know about any socialist policy and they will like it so long as they don't know it is socialist. It is just petty tribalism for most people. Which is hard to defeat, but not that hard with time and energy.
