Sounds to me like America's going to fully take the mask off and go fascist in a year or two.

 

For people living in non-imperialist nations, the fall of imperialism will probably make life somewhat easier, especially since it will make the transition to socialism much, much easier.

Many of us do not live in a communist country and do not have the opportunity or desire to move to one. Therefore, we must stay at home to fight to liberate our homeland.

Because of how bad life is going to decline, what can we do to survive financially, mentally, physically, socially, etc? What can we do in order to help liberate ourselves and our nations?

Perhaps we can look to our comrades many decades ago who conducted successful socialist revolutions in the past for inspiration, like in Cuba, China, Tsarist Russia, African nations, Indochina, Korea, etc. They were fighting in conditions much more dire than ours, or possibly even more dire than our future situation.

 

I am definitely not the only person who thinks that. There are many people who share similar sentiments, maybe even including you, dear reader.

Nostalgia is a very common feeling, just look at how many Russians want the USSR back! Having been born in 2005, I pretty much grew up with the internet going mainstream, with YouTube being created the same year I was born.

Back when it was new, it was mainly used by hobbyists that wanted to show off ~~pirated anime episodes~~ cool and/or funny things they made for fun. (Forgive me if this just sounds like a rose-tinted petty bourgeois fantasy.)

Then you know what happened next. Like so many fun stuff under capitalism, like JoeMarx has mentioned recently with video games, the internet was commodified and made into a dumbed-down addictive tool for instant gratification, all for profit.

EDIT: I am referring specifically to web culture, not the actual technology of the internet.

So we know that the USA can only avoid paying their debt because the USD is the world reserve currency, but once they actually have to pay it, it's going to be hell.

How is China going to deal with their own debt? Because it seems like they have a lot to pay back.

Why is the West just casually letting Russia and China outproduce them? Why are they this incompetent? When the Cold War started, you would never expect such weak behavior from the West.

Why do you say so?

At least the DPRK has supporters. In this scenario, the USA is on their own.

Russia alone would obliterate the USA just by launching the nukes.

Critical support to Kurama in their struggle against U.S. imperialism!

 

Personally, I think it's part of the petty-bourgeois delusion that a person can become part of the capitalist elite instead of realizing that they have more in common with the working class.

 

It's needless to say that climate change is a very scary topic that is a lot to handle. There are a lot of very bleak predictions, and even optimistic predictions will significantly disrupt humanity for at least some time.

What are your tips on how I (and many others) can cope with this?

(P.S. It's like I make a new post every day, isn't it?)

Inshallah, they gain independence.

By "socially progressive", I am referring to the things we usually refer to when it comes to social progress: acceptance of LGBTQ+, rights for women, anti-racism, respect for youth and elderly, etc.

By "conservative", it would mean opposition to such advances in social progress.

I'm not the best at wording this.

Realistically speaking, what's probably going to happen during/after this Rafah invasion?
