I’m no Marxist. I’m also not American. But I’m pretty sure it’s more about the erosion of human rights and the rise of an autocratic regime. Shit looks pretty bleak for Americans. To get an idea of what’s coming next Elon musk and Donald trump want to follow the insanity of Curtis yarvin. JD Vance and Peter Thiel want to follow project 2025. Neither end well.

As a European, it actually saddens me that America has gone this way.

The left have been warning about exactly what’s happening for years. Practically screaming it into traffic. Noone has listened, noone has taken us seriously, noone has thought to actually stand up to the oligarchs.

After a while you have to stop treating them like children who don’t know better and come to the realisation that they want the cruelty and oppression. They just don’t want it to happen to them.

Once the extrajudicial deportations start, anyone still onboard with it is by definition hostile and an active supporter of fascism. These people can’t be reasoned with.

Pretty sure it’s not about money.

I’m pretty sure the rise of fascism has a tendency to get the left riled up. So technically you are correct.

Ok, but does anyone here own a MANPADS?
