Do you guys think a world war/revolution is brewing? (lemmygrad.ml)

Obviously it's a process that is always brewing under capitalism but you know what I mean. Do you think we are close, like within 5 to 10 years close to a major declaration of war between the imperial core and the periphery or something of the sort? Would you argue it's already started?

I see Palestine liberating itself, I see solidarity with them along the people, I see the ripples that the Ukraine conflict has started, I see more and more revolutionary sentiment building. Could be an experience bias because now I'm more involved in real life so I see it more, but things just seem to be accelerating and I'm here for it. Much work needs to be done to capitalize and educate/funnel us all towards a progressive revolution and not a reactionary one, but I'm ready

I've said it before, and I don't mean to be a doomsayer or present myself as having foreknowledge (my grandma thinks I'm [psychic though) but I feel in my bones that something BIG is coming this year in 2024, for better and worse. A big "moment" that signals the forward trajectory of this planet, or a series of moments. I believe that at our current technological level and with the global world order on the edge of collapse, the ultimate battle for the future of humanity and life on Earth in general is fast approaching, or at least fast in the grand scheme of things.

I'm concerned and excited and pessimistic and hopeful.

I get the same sense of living in a twilight zone. It's like the world has taken a collective deep breath and we won't know what will happen until the out-breath. Maybe that won't be in 2024. But the longer the world holds in that breath, the more force it will be expelled with.

Beautiful way of putting it

ive had similar feelings in years past.. big things happen all the time whether or not we hear about them or even understand their ramifications until much later on
