If we had an unlimited timeline I'd buy that, the problem is climate change will make all but struggle inevitable in ~75 years at the rate we're destroying it.
Famine, water wars, and billions of climate migrants will destroy any hope of an egalitarian revolution...
If trump wins and America can't defeat his senile version of fascism, then it's already on the death bed waiting for the next republican to take power...

It's not going to get better only worse...
you're at least a decade late for that concern. why do you think chatgpt is so good at solving recaptcha?

Here's the problem I don't want to play the dementia olympics for the president...
The fact that DNC insists that Biden is the only one they have that can beat trump should scare the shit out of you. That basically guarantees an authoritarian in the next 8 years because the republicans have a deep back bench of ghouls to replace trump when he dies.

Rent is up, grocery prices are up, gas is up again, pay hasn't kept up with inflation, corporate profits at all time highs and Powell at the Fed is literally trying to weaken labors negotiating power, but sure it's the media brainwashing people...
I'd heard of that before so after a quick google America passed the Metric Conversion Act in 1975 then in 1982 the Metric Board was abolished by President Ronald Reagan...
So like the harbinger of doom for American progress he was Regan killed it...
"I've only had old.lemmy for an hour, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself."
Or it's been configured to operate within these bounds because it is far far better for them to have a screenshot of it refusing to be racist, even in a situation that's clearly not, than it is for it to go even slightly racist.
I know, I was going to use ~10 years, but used a conservative number so I could source it undeniably if pressed.
