Honestly with our weak global supply chain and danger of climate change and diseases, along with “the market’s” terrible priorities, I wouldn’t be surprised if they keep cranking out marvel movies and TikToks while people are hungry and the streets of the imperial core.
Collapse or civil war doesn’t necessarily mean revolution. Robert Evans thinks it would be simultaneous fascist terrorism and a strong urban left movement causing destabilization of the federal government. I’m not really convinced as fascists are probably just going to seize state power and have no need to fight it, but it’s a possibility. The closest thing I can realistically imagine to revolution is the federal government losing control as it runs out of oil and socialists and anti-colonial forces are able to get hold of smaller territories.
I agree with this assessment. I don’t think any of the anarchists talk about empire or dedollarization. I also think it’s telling Robert Evans never talks about intelligence whether in OKC or the Arab spring (I doubt he’s even heard of PatCon). As the saying goes, there will never be a coup in the US because there are no US embassies there. Of course I already know how he works for bellingcat and works to divide whatever “left” we have here (anti-tankie rhetoric). He seems to think there will be fascist terrorism alongside an Occupy Wall Street type movement.
The greater frequency in fat-phobic content in political spaces may be real, but problematic and should be combatted. OP should not be blamed as “hyper-sensitive” and told to avoid political spaces.
No, what they’re saying is that people are mocking right wingers by pretending they all have the same physical characteristics even though non-right wingers can easily have the same stereotyped characteristics through no fault of their own.
They seem to be defending someone saying “it’s ok to insult people for looking a certain way because of their ideology” by saying “it’s not ok to insult someone for how they look, just insult their political views.” They contradict, but that’s what it looks like responding to you rather than the other person.
True, I just mean on a larger scale. Intodalagoon suggested food would last longer than entertainment.
