-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

You can actually blame Obama’s famous “pivot to Asia” policy that got inaugurated in the Atlantic with his interview laying out the future. Dude was a total piece of shit.

Critical support to Joe Biden in his efforts to dismantle American imperialism

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 27 points 5 months ago (1 children)

With one simple trick, Biden has done more anti-imperialism than Ansarallah.

I think people are reading too much into this, Not much has changed really, especially since the Saudis and US were considering a defense treaty in return for recognizing Israel, which was only interrupted by the war on Gaza. Once the Israelis are done with the genocide they will get back to it. Some in the US foreign policy establishment may think the world trading in Yuan makes the Chinese economy more susceptible. All I am saying is If this was a big blow to the US economic dominance they would have done something stupid about it. Idk it could be the doomer in me.

It might not be an immediate blow, but I do think this is impactful. Saudis are also very clearly drifting towards BRICS now, and I doubt they want to keep being subordinate to US long term. It's also not at all clear Israel will survive what they started in Gaza. The war is not going well for them at all.

It's really incredible, I can't tell which is the accelerationist candidate anymore!

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think it's unarguable that Biden did far more to advance the collapse of the empire than Trump. Project Ukraine will go down in history as the pivotal point when US empire started to unravel.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

I think Biden inherited a lot of long running material forces that have lead to a faster decline of the empire, it's hard to say how much the president really matters. Trump is embarrassing, though, and that does a lot to undermine public trust in the government.

... although Biden wandering off during public events is also embarrassing so I dunno lol

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 5 months ago

That's very true, how much the president matters is a question. As figure heads they're differently embarrassing. :)
