US complicity in Palestine and Yemen genocide: ~100%
Concomitant NATO complicity: like, a lot, actually
US partisans: "Why isn't everyone talking about Chinese Uyghurs and no other state-led genocide whatsoever?"

I never heard of that Chinese genocide. Dude if you lived in the US you would be just as powerless to stop US war as you are now.

Yeah, the best hope anyone has to stop the US wars is by doing what the US is already doing: alienating its subjects, unifying its enemies and mismanaging the federation.

Today there is not really any anti war movement. You get people like AOC elected to office, once in a while, and then, their anti war platform disappears off their website first day in office.

US politics are a giant shell game, yes, moreso even than China's or the EU's. You're never gonna get back what you put in.
But then, that's why I keep saying it surprises me that the US hasn't gone into low-intensity civil war yet. Social inertia is a powerful thing.

There is not gonna be a civil war. There will never be a general strike. It's too spread out. This isn't France.

State separatism seems the likely outcome today. But I don't mean capital letters war.
I mean omnidirectional violence, not just state and federal govts curbstomping lefties & blacks, plus the occasional terrorist and/or plant.
But I believe we've already had this talk.

I don't remember. But anyway the frontier mentality is the idea that if life sucks in your town move out in the country and do your own thing. It's still a common mindset. I have it myself.

I'm half tundra nomad, man. I can relate.
Soon to be on my fourth country to settle down in in about eight years. Probably soon enough to uproot once again.

I am making a comic book about a reindeer herder in the future who fights robots. You would like it!

But either way, my point is just that the old US model of greasing the right palms (in populace and state politics alike) to be allowed free reign is going pretty fast.
European and US living standards are in freefall.
And nobody important has had any interest in fixing that.

So our govts. will keep pretending they haven't already undermined themselves, right up until the point where they can't.
And probably long after, if the autobiographies of shitty leaders throughout history are any indication.
