Come, vent, chat meme a little. How was everyone’s Easter weekend? I had a uncomfortable but fine dinner with estranged relatives. I’m going to start posting the POC weekly threads on Mondays now.

    At times, I feel the same way, but honestly, it could just stall revolution in Europe, Japan, and other countries aligned with the U.S.

    Otherwise, they could turn fascist and, thus, have a no-holds-barred approach to foreign policy (which could prove successful if they're willing to do anything and everything to still be on top).

    It'll be even worse for the proletarian movements in the West (people's movements like BIPOC, LGBTQ+, Autistic and other disabled people, etc.).

    Imagine if the West just becomes a stalwart of capitalism and fascism (even more than now)? If they strengthen their "base areas" then they can easily retake parts of Africa, Asia, Latin America, etc.

    Not saying that it couldn't backfire, but it could also backfire against us.
