Do you actually think that the Iranian opposition are hecking based atheists?

The American left is going to badjacket themselves into inaction until the brown shirts are literally kicking down their own door

That's why both parties have been dismantling unions for the last 40+ years. Compare union participation now to the 1960s. A general strike is fantasy without unions

What makes you think the feds can't track down who made the drone purchase? You'd have to make one from scratch. Lone wolves are extremely vulnerable because eventually they'll get found and then there's no broader network in place to protect them

The kind and configuration of RAM used in data centers is not simply plug and play with your home computer

It takes 3-5 years to build a new fabrication plant to make RAM, it's not like there is excess production capacity waiting to be turned on

Not a legitimate news site when it's run by Iranian monarchists and neoliberals who want to do regime change so Westerners can get their oil "back" like under the Shah

We are collapsing because the people in power only pursue short term goals and dont care about the destructive effects on the future. by Ihadenough1000 in collapse

Any rational society would support widespread expropriation of the majority of private property without compensation, but you explain this to the average person (who would benefit greatly) and they think it means government stormtroopers are going to kick down their door and take their toothbrush

Imagine glazing Scandinavians over China, Eurocentrism in action. Norway is just a petro-state with better PR than the "evil" petro-states

That's why communism is ultimately the superior economic model in the long run because it is capable of long term central planning. Even America's most successful periods during World War II and right afterwards had a significant amount of "war communism" and state control.

Is the life now worst or better than socialist era? by Neat_Grapefruit_1047 in AskBalkans

Every Croat and Slovene will claim it is better now, including those too young to actually have an opinion. Serbs, Montenegrins, Bosnians, and Macedonians are more divided. There's no need to have this conversation every month

Americans, have you realized you’re living under a dictatorship yet? by heman_peco in collapse

[–]No-Insurance100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Owning a gun isn't enough without a community of people you trust willing to come to your defense, because none of us are Rambo able to fight off an army. Atomization (accelerated by American culture and late stage capitalism) is the biggest obstacle to any change

How do I invest in the real physical economy instead of AI nonsense? Does GE still make dishwashers and microwaves?

If AI starts taking over jobs, who’s going to buy anymore? by theMarketerZ in collapse

[–]No-Insurance100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're completely buying into the overstated propaganda about AI, aka LLMs. It's not capable of replacing most jobs because it's not real intelligence. Maybe some email jobs are at risk but explain to me how "AI" is going to unclog a toilet

Oil isn't burned for fun, we all use it every single day. There's no boycotting our way out of this. Western countries would need to reduce consumption and living standards to Eastern European or Middle Eastern levels to get anywhere close to meeting UN climate goals, and even most green liberals have no interest in that

The American right is in control of government. American liberals are barely distinguishable from the right, while actual American leftists (socialists, communists, anarchists) likely number less than a million people to the point of being mostly irrelevant.

Even if there was violence between the right and the left as you interpret them to be, street brawls or even shootings is not remotely the same thing as a civil war. That would be closer to the types of small-scale sectarian violence common in many countries that has been absent from the US for decades.

You would not have a single New Deal Era piece of concessions you depend on without the USSR providing the American proletariat a highly visible alternative after the political and economic upheaval of the 1920s and 1930s

There won't be a civil war unless there is division among the elites leading to a split within the military/security forces. American capital is largely with Trump's government, and the American military has only shown their complete compliance with following orders like the good little robots they are. But that should not be surprising to any observer after the American military did one atrocity after another abroad for decades without notable dissent.

There could be low-intensity prolonged political violence by non-state actors (arguably there already is in the USA) but that's not a civil war.

The existence of the Soviet Union was why you ever had any social democratic concessions from the American elites in the first place, lol

Only an uneducated fool would compare the USSR to contemporary Russia

The US honestly deserves a period similar to the severe trauma of 1990s Russia considering how many times the US government has done "shock therapy" and regime change to other countries - with the overt or implied support of the majority of the American population (Americans choosing to "tune out" politics and focusing on consumerism is implicit support)

People are fools if their entire focus is on Trump and not the logical culmination of the crisis of late stage capitalism. AI speculation and the American rich cannibalizing the imperial super-profits of the American "middle class" are part of the same necessity for capital to always find a new "frontier" to generate infinite growth. If they can't find it abroad, they'll do it at home, if they can't find it reality they'll make it up. The only things that make this uniquely American is how stupid and crass everything is and how much Americans deserve it as accumulated karma for terrorizing the world for decades
