I'm not thoroughly read up on theory and I'm not about to heavily defend the previous argument. I'm still not certain after reading in between replying here.
I don't see why a centralized state can't have more flattened power hierarchies, especially as needs and material conditions are improved.
Oil companies have known about this shit since the 70s and there's been billions spent to manufacture your consent, keep the current power structures, and prevent change. Both parties maintain that status quo, don't forget that.
The only people I'm deeply frustrated by are the ones hand wringing about why people didn't vote the way they wanted, and hand wave how dogshit Kamala was.
If there isn't a choice in whether the genocide support happens, I prefer the US to weaken and isolate itself globally by kneecaping its relations with other western nations.
If I said, I prefer Nazi Germany to not have allies while they are committing the final solution, I think you would understand why I have this position.
It's still a land grab, and they're actively grabbing land in the west bank, in Lebanon, and in Syria.
They're fascists that have purposefully fomented this violence as the apartheid state. They want the land and some justification they can wave around. This is why Oct 7th exists.
The irony is, the more successful they are in their depraved violence and theft, the more they will become a pariah globally. I can't see the future, but this feels like a fascist death spiral that will end Israel.
Depends. Plenty of fascists do a thing where they attempt to will their own reality, disregarding any information that contradicts this imagined world view.
You can thank Israel for muddying the waters, using antisemitism as a shield so they can commit a live streamed child holocaust on a captive population.
You could make targeted exceptions given the US companies that are particularly ethical, especially given how much larger and more stuff you might get from the US.
That said, I totally get it. I want this country to crumble sooner rather than later so it can get the boot off the necks of third world nations and we generally deserve it. Good on you.
You can tell the Gates-bucks have really leaned them in a neo-liberal slant. It kind of sucks.
