Pretty much, this has been my take as well (that Trump is if anything the opposite of an accelerationist by and large, and impotent due to just how much of an Ugly American™ he is)

that said burgerstan gets exactly the kind of representation it deserves… not what it needs (rather the opposite) but what it deserves, not justifying it but Trump’s bringing all the true blue-blooded Real Americans™ into office, bald eagles and the founding fathers cry

Holy shit, reading the article… it really was bloodlust. It’d be cartoonish if it weren’t so fucked up. First she shot the dog, then shot the goat- failed to kill them in one hit- and went and shot them again.

At that point, Noem said, she realised a construction crew had watched her kill both animals. “The startled workers swiftly got back to work, only for a school bus to arrive and drop off Noem’s children.”

Honestly I don’t think any of us can even blame them for it. It’s just how they try to do so that is the issue…

Does the Anglosphere count as one big ol’ hog farm? Because I’m thinking you’re right if so

I’m actually… Kind of glad to be around to see this utter dumpster fire of a trainwreck? Is this what hope (no shortage of hope tbf) shadenfreude feels like??

If the empire can go down in as pathetic and ridiculous of a spiral (with as little human suffering involved) all the better if you ask me. Still hate everyone involved (because they’re ghouls no one should support) but I almost feel I’m… becoming halfways hopeful of Elon (not as a person, but as a dumpster fire to be watched from afar while holding ones’ nose) seeing this absolute bullshit? If his narcissist-divorcee online malding leads to the death of NATO this will be priceless.

If you ask me, if the empire can go in as humiliating a way as possible, that even those reactionaries looking to the ““good old”” (shit-coated) days of empire cannot do so with a straight face- that every bit of imperialist vanity is uprooted and demolished right down to even its origins - well that’ll be pretty sweet. Though then, maybe I also just have issues (it’s definitely at least partly the latter, i exist even irl at least partially in a state of shitpost/semi-ironic nonsense brain humor)

Google deserves it and more LMAO… whatever the reasoning, based. I hope someday every single country the west has smeared (ie. all of them) joins in on the legal shitposting.

“He took a big piece of a cross, a teeny, small piece … I’m sure he didn’t have a terror knife so he killed a number of people.”

“two other girls and one lady, um, which were Black.”

Who did they train it on, Trump, Biden, or any other of the geriatric ghouls in DC?

Their kid seems to have some minimum of human decency if nothing else. Does she deserve special attention for being a billionaire’s kid? No, not really. But standing up against genocide certainly is a good take regardless of who it’s coming from…

This is probably it

Gotta love how western media cries and shits their pants over billionaires, CEOs, corrupt politicians and blatant western political interference-NGOs getting their just desserts in other countries tbh. Like as if anyone with sense (sadly less common than it should be) would have sympathy.

YanKKKeestan really doing the rounds to ensure as their influence wanes, the rest of the world will slam the door shut…

Goes to show (though everyone already knew) the US is truly and wholly guilty of every single thing Isntreal (its military outpost) does, right down to boots on the ground. They’re bragging about it out loud, now.

Considering how most drivers already get treated it’s not really surprising tbh. Basically a license to kill

I don’t see how this contradicts my assessment, admittedly? I didn’t rule out the possibility of the ROC or any of the aforementioned states (even Ukraine, still) breaking free- and it is still a question of whether the Taiwanese bourgeoisie and military (both of which I already knew were opposed to the separatism- another of my comments in the thread notes how the US replaced the KMT with the DPP for just that) can successfully do so, as of yet the ROC is still being steered into catastrophe.

I’m aware Ukraine is far more compromised- the list of countries I described ranged from Ukraine (which still has plenty of resistance and dissent even in its government and ranks, though people are smart enough to keep their heads down) to Georgia which I noted seemed to be successfully avoiding “Ukrainization.” I’m aware that the ROC and Japanese in particular are trying to wriggle free some independence (however they use it is another question, but they don’t want to destroy themselves). I’m aware that there is a great deal of dissent and concern, and public opinion is overwhelmingly opposed to Ukrainization, in almost all if not all the countries I described as facing the threat of Ukrainization.

As I described, it’s a question of whether or not the state structure, or the people (including those people who matter as you describe) can protect themselves from this destruction. I don’t see how that is an inaccurate assessment. See:

It doesn’t matter what the Taiwan Chinese or anyone else the US wants to Ukrainize wants- what matters is if they can and will act to defend their interests from Ukrainization

Can the ROC military and bourgeoisie wrest control of the state, from the boba liberals who have the backing of the US military? As-is they are in a very uncomfortable and precarious balancing act- but if the US gave push to shove, I’d expect that Taiwan would erupt into civil war (same with South Korea despite its military being supposed to be subordinated to the US in times of war, as for Japan and the Philippines they’re less immediately under the crosshairs and would intensify their attempts to wriggle free). Alternatively, it’s not out of the question that, just as the sensible ROC elements might overthrow the DPP, the US and its DPP puppets could- as with most of the articles you described- intensify the purges of all those trying to save their people from Ukrainization, steal TSMC out from under the ROC’s nose (well, with DPP support), and send the island on a one-way suicide trip to the mainland… not to say it’s likely to succeed (none of it is, even the TSMC debacle) but it is certainly what they would like to do and IMO, what they are slowly trying to do.

I hope you’re right- though I suppose the question then becomes whether their bullshit, or even their real economic interests and corporate pressure (since most corpos despite their infinite issues don’t tend to want WW3) outweighs US hubris, the neocon agenda, and the collective western imperialist elites’ attempts to keep the world under a “unipolar” order of western domination- one that unified and reached its zenith under the US, but could be argued to have been building for 500 years. Can the west accept Africa, Asia (south, east, west), and Latin America truly breaking free and asserting equality? I’m less optimistic than you, particularly when it comes to institutional culture and structural issues (contradictions) which mean that the west and the US in particular may not be able to afford war, but they- or rather, their political system- inherently also cannot afford peace and this equality…

I figured Trump/Vance were the less demented of the 2 competing fascist factions of the US, for what it’s worth- still do (at least when it comes to foreign policy). I know Trump had said similar (and I think there’s reason to believe him in that regard- though whether his opinion counts for anything vs. that of the blob/neocons and war lobby is another thing), but I didn’t know Waltz has said “China doesn’t have to be our enemy.” Fingers crossed, I suppose…

What the Taiwan Chinese want doesn’t matter, just like what the Ukranians, South Koreans, Filipinos, Japanese, Armenians, or Georgians (well the Georgians seem to be having success in resistance at least) want doesn’t matter. The question is whether or not their state structure can resist US usurpation (or whether it, or alternatively its people through overthrowing it, can break free of its control).

The Ukrainians wanted peace and neutrality; the US overthrew that government (Yanukovich) and installed a bunch of Nazis instead. The Ukranians once again voted in a candidate ostensibly seeking “peace” (Zelensky)- while I won’t claim to know how genuine his intentions originally were (I do think there was some honest intent- I think I’ve seen videos out there somewhere of, well before the war, him being disrespected to his face by those neo-Nazi, possibly Azov militants despite being elected head of state) obviously that went out the window. Then the Russians invaded/began their SMO to force peace- and a peace deal was on the table soon after, with those (Ukranians) who had been behind its workings now coming out and exposing how positive it would have been and how happy they were at the time- and then fucking Boris Johnson flew to Istanbul and put an end to that, as well. And now even negotiating is illegal, elections have been suspended, political oppression (which was always rampant) is only getting worse… you get the gist.

It doesn’t matter what the Taiwan Chinese or anyone else the US wants to Ukrainize wants- what matters is if they can and will act to defend their interests from Ukrainization, or if the US will succeed in their plans of using said countries as metaphorical suicide bombers for the empire.

IMO for both Taiwan and Korea, the question becomes whether the US is going to bite the bullet and actually go for open conflict with China (in both cases). When you look at what the US does to North Korea- or China- or honestly even Russia and the historical Soviet Union, etc… it really is a game of it constantly swinging its fist full force at other countries’ faces, only to metaphorically pull back at the last second.

Western media and politicians, and even military officials are not exactly hiding their plans/considerations- they expect a war with China, sooner (5~ years max) than later, because the longer the wait the further China and the rest of humanity develops (ie. the harder it will be to slaughter and enslave the entire planet and destroy China and the BRICS nations again, as the unspoken but obvious reasoning).

Whatever happens won’t be an accident- it won’t be a “chance,” basically- if it happens it will have been nigh inevitable, if it is avoided it will be through masterful statecraft/containment on China and the rest of humanity’s part upon the US to prevent the west from lighting the fuse. And it will not so much be due to the west “calling North Korea/China’s bluff,” or even giving two shits about what the comprador regimes of the RoC and South Korea have to say, much less the people- it will be a matter of the US brunt forcing the issue with full knowledge of what will come about (even up to possible MAD- not like they overly care about their own citizens, though of course they will try to keep the bulk of the destruction contained in Asia). Like with Ukraine, if the South Koreans or RoC governments get cold feet, the US will push further (and then it’ll be a matter if they succeed in that regard). If the KMT is in the way (due to not being suicidal), the DPP will be brought in their place. If the DPP is in the way, some other group of maniacs will be brought in, and so on. The same goes for South Korea, the Philippines, and Japan- they all might try to wriggle free of the control but their chances are pretty bleak, and their institutions are heavily compromised from the ground up.

Obviously as a TL,DR I think it’s already more than in the works and with full bipartisan support (the only pesky issues getting in the way are things like their “project Ukraine” being a disaster, or the Muslims getting “uppity” rather than peacefully allowing the blood-crazed Anglo-franchise of Isntreal to continue genocide as usual). It’s more likely to happen than not (unless things continue throwing major wrenches in the plan- which is likely) and everyone knows- the world knows, western citizenry knows, etc, etc… that as the opportunity to push the “terrorism/WW3” button closes in on the US, they (the neocon uniparty) will push it, unprovoked, rather than accept equality and peace. The only question is if that window of opportunity can be closed before they do (through any variety of reasons- from civil war/a coup by the non-suicidal elements of the US, things simply catching up with the US faster than they can prepare, etc)

What if Germany likes it? It is humiliation after all…

If only I could be Germany’s findom instead of Uncle Sam lol

He’s still the president we Americans deserve

Not USian but unironically this (though better is needed ofc). I was shocked when he won in 2016 but I must admit it was the most democratic thing that had ever happened in the US’ nearing 250 years of ignoble history. He is basically the perfect, truest expression of what America is
