No we’re not going to do shit. Vote for stupid things, win stupid prizes.
Too many bodyguards
Imagine your kids lying dead in an airliner crash plainly due to lack of proper maintenance and there is no agency investigating whose fault it was, just corporations covering each other's butt up.
No justice just pure capitalism
Not capitalism. Authoritarian fascists. Capitalism has its own set of issues, but let’s not forget any kind of authoritarian government is shit.
You can separate capitalism from fascism as one side of the coin with the other. Capitalism invented fascism to defend it when the nation/state couldn't anymore, against labor and unionism of late 19th century. From paid thugs shooting strikers to off duty cops carrying assassinations, torture and terrorism, to the evolution of a pseudo-ideology to take over Germany and attack the Soviet-Union, which in their eyes was the source of the problems western industrialists faced. Fascism grows from inside the very nature of capitalism and it is inseparable.
I’m sorry, I don’t talk to Wumaoski.
Gradually this entire society is going to be pushed towards a civil war where male wasps will win and blame the war on everyone else. Already Trump has empowered the militant right and winked an eye to do attrocities in the form of paramilitary reaction against people mobilizing to strike, protest, organize.
This whole scenario is the US managing its defeat in Ukraine where the entire NATO went against Russia and lost, on one side, on the other side it will politically shift blame for the declining and collapsing $/oil economy that is imploding mainly due to its declining industrial and raw material base.
Industrial capital leading a banking federation is what capitalism's core is. The "west" thought through the banking/oil choke hold it can control industrial capital which has now shifted together with the world's primary raw material sources. So we have a collision course of two capitalist adversaries with the US not willing to accept defeat to avert a large scale war.
But if nobody can be wise enough to lead and beat some sense into the US/EU/UK elitism material conditions will. And the bubble of living and surviving on the blood and sweat of the rest of humanity without a cost will be violently coming to its end. In US/UK/EU, due to this condition politics range from right-wing pro-capitalism to ultra-right-wing pro-capitalism all against humanity.
Poor Israel is realising this western ally is collapsing on its own and is taking measures to be able to survive this phase of global war caused by the US/UK/EU
