Grim did a better job than I thought was possible in terms of getting concessions from the anchor.

The conservative shit folds so quickly when it meets even mild but firm opposition. I'm pretty convinced there is going to be a leftward shift in the west in the next decade or so. Maybe I should take it easy on the hopium but I'm definitely not saying cool revolutionary shit will happen in the west. More like AOC could realistically be president.

it's still going to be lib asf till the very end but with China in the drivers' seat it might be game over in the long run. we aren't through the current gasp of fascism quite yet; they could go "cancel elections" mode in the US, which would not be healthy even from an anti-imperialist standpoint. There would be a certain irony in trump doing regime change (of sorts) in the US, but it's better if it just libs out and trips into it's decline without making a fuss (a world war).
