Been getting pretty doomerpilled lately, especially after watching the media go into overdrive promoting the Afghan occupation. I need guidance from the wise minds of hexbear.net

    I watch YouTube documentaries on advancements in China and think about how they are about to overtake the US as the dominant world power.

      I think that will only make the Americans more bitter and hostile to the Chinese at time goes on. Look at how salty and ugly people are towards China online already. Hope I’m wrong though.

        The reason why this is hopeful, to me at least, is that we will very soon have a responsible country led by a communist party leading the world instead of the US. It will likely be bad for Americans, but hugely beneficial to people around the globe.

        Perhaps for some people it becomes a competitive thing as they swallow tons of propoganda, but for others who see their material conditions deteriorating while china's conditions rise, they may more and more see a model to emulate, even with the third red scare propoganda. Imagine if during the entire cold war the US were in neoliberal decline instead of social democratic boom.
