Been seeing a lot of positions from Europe that would have been considered impossible to conceive of a little while ago. One guy wants an "Anti-NATO EU"

I feel like the fact that Russian telegram channels are celebrating the work of DOGE is a pretty huge indication that what they're doing is not actually in the interests of the American people

Did a lot of unpopular reactionary bullshit when in power, ran on doing more unpopular reactionary bullshit, acted counter to several popular nationwide movements they could have tapped for support. Failed to respond to an existential threat. Nobody owes them allegiance this isn't feudalism

Today's history hot take is that I think Europe should have United again after the fall of Rome under French domination. Whether Charlemagne, the Bourbons, or Napoleon I think Europe would have been better off united

I think it's obvious that we're way past the point where we could win a trade war with China, let alone the entire rest of the world. The plutocrats want to return to Reagan but will actually bring us back to the great depression

Megalopolis is even worse in retrospect now that the oligarchs are in charge and they're exclusively destroying things without contructive ambitions

Trump's economic policy so far is like what the IMF imposes on countries in the global south to stymie their development. Standards of living are going to decline and it's going to be the fault of capitalists and capitalism

Trump acting like an accelerationist but not because it'll prompt anything, he just likes making lots of people poorer

Always worth repeating imho that Trump's privatization regime will lower living standards of most Americans

It's never been more obvious that the far right is astroturfed to serve the interests of the wealthy and powerful

Makes sense to me that Trump will try to expand the borders of the US. American global market share is stagnating so the only way forward is greater exploitation of the lower classes or political/military expansion.

My hot take on audiobooks is that anyone saying they affect you differently than text books is just being pretentious and has no actual clue how the brain works

Hard to argue against us being a dying empire when we're following Britain's footsteps almost exactly. Getting kicked out of Afghanistan, spending fortunes on a war in continental Europe, and hollowing ourselves out with austerity. Hopefully the decolonial period begins soon

Trump's approach towards China won't be any different from Biden's imho. Tying to draw them into a costly proxy conflict hasn't worked thus far and hasn't even really weakened our other geopolical rival. Tariffs would hurt us a lot more than them. There's nothing left to do except maybe flatter them

We read Capital not to turn economics into a hard and fast science by understanding the value-form, but by seeing things from Marx's perspective at its inception, we come to understand industrial capitalism is not a natural outgrowth of human nature; rather it is something artificially imposed...

Trump is proving that as committed as they are to capitalism, nationalism, and western hegemony, Republicans can never truly be anti-war. Unfortunately the same is also true of the democrats.

It sucks that America is in economic decline for me and mine and it's not helping that the two options for the election seem to be "take as many people down with us as possible" and "accelerate the process"

The people who were skeptical of the idea that lead poisoning is making older people more reactionary are right in that the aftereffects of a gasoline additive determines our politics much less than the material interests of the ruling class, but time will tell

The missus has introduced me to Stargate and what I appreciate most about the show so far is that almost every planet seems to have invented English independently? It's great

Capitalism is such a good system that it requires massive amounts of taxpayers money in the form of subsidies to keep functioning, badly
