I know it’s a meme, but I really don’t miss it. I was trapped in a mindset of racism, chauvinism, selfishness and just general stupidity.
Does it suck realizing just how fucked up the entire system is? Most definitely. But it sure beats ignorance. And the fact that we have literal actionable steps to bring about change is a cure to the doomerism that so many are succumbing to.
Eventually buying homes here in the USA is going to be a thing of the past. Everyone will merely be a renter. But capitalism isn’t the problem if you ask the majority of Americans. Even the ones who will agree will say “we should be more like Denmark!”
Man where have I seen this movie before?… oh yeah, 17 fucking years ago when the exact same kind of speculative housing market collapsed and led to a massive upward transfer of wealth.
I’m sure this time the bailouts will go to the workers though.
Well written post, comrade. I’ve recently been thinking a lot about this because I’ve lived the life of both an American conservative and American liberal.
Your assessment of Trump’s base is pretty accurate although I do there is a redpill component to it as well that has shepherded many young men to Trump who aren’t white. In the most recent cycle, his boom amongst Latino men was massive.
But again, the redpill community is hyper reactionary and sees female autonomy as a social ill
We also stand for the National Anthem at fucking everything.
So many Americans are hopelessly nihilistic. I’m truly in awe of how many people I know who completely understand that they’re being robbed by the rich and that life under this system fucking sucks but won’t consider the possibility of changing it.
No, no, no! He’s spending that money on Nazifying Grok
It’s fucking gross tbh. I want to grab all my fellow white Americans and shake them out of their fixation over all the ticky tack bullshit that keeps us placated.
Like there are millions of people being stomped on so we have grocery stores full of food that we can barely afford anyway. When in reality we produce more than enough food to feed the entire planet
I didn’t know about the cattle tails but my God, there’s really no fucking reprieve for the Koreans from American aggression.
That makes a lot of sense regarding Cuba, too. It can take a long time for the soil to regenerate naturally without fertilizer
A big reason I think why the AES states struggle to produce food is that they have limited space for food production, especially since DPRK and Cuba have had to develop autarky, leaving even less available land for food production.
I’m not sure about DPRK because frankly, I have no idea where to look for reliable information about that country, but Cuba did shift to urban food production largely through the methods that you’ve outlined in your post and it seems as though it’s been modestly successful
Americans too. We had Hitler Youth camps all across the country. Henry Ford was a pen pal to the Fuhrer. Even when we were involved in WWII, we put Japanese people into our own concentration camps.
Liberals are so trained to spew out all this “both sides” garbage that they legitimize a genocidal ideology while offering the most half-hearted “moment of silence” type support for the victims of said genocide.
Fascists are always enabled by liberals. Always.
