    January 6th 2021 proved two things to me; first, there is latent revolutionary potential among the conservative bourgeoisie in America

    how can the conservative bourgeoisie rebel against themselves? they already run everything and have everything they want. they're mad about culture war issues but that's never going to be enough to get people to risk their lives in large enough numbers to lead to a "revolution." i think they'll accelerate the pace at which they take over the deep state and impose christo-fascism from above, but that doesn't require anything like a revolution

    Death to America

      Yes they run everything and have everything they want but do they know that? It is really hard to tell what revanchists actually believe and what they only say they believe. Political factions have made some incredibly weird, irrational choices in the past.

          I think in this context its the desire to reclaim perceived losses, both material and social. Originally it was more in reference to reclaiming lost territory specifically? Basically just RETVRN fascists/MAGA types (in the literal sense)
