The lockstep calls for a fucking war with Russia across the political spectrum, including by probably 99% of the US left, has convinced me that change for the better is impossible in this country and will be for the forseeable future. People still got World Cop mindset and refuse to let it go. Memories like fucking goldfish, like the last 70 years of US interventionism just don't count or some shit. This country needs to be humbled.
Made a whole damn account just to vent because it seems like this is the only place to do it without people saying you lick Putin's boots.
Generally my outlook on life here in the USA is grim. I think capitalism is going to continue of the trajectory it's currently on for the foreseeable future. It'll keep having crisis after crisis but the government will take the shock paddles to it and keep it's zombie corpse alive. I think the quality of life for the poor will continue to fall and the "middle class" what's left of it anyway, will be razor thin. The two major camps in the USA will be the working poor and the billionaires. With politicians still chasing that elusive middle class vote. I think policy will still be the same too with neoliberalism being the dominant form, with flare ups of populism that's close to neo-fascism, think Trump and tucker carlson. Don't expect any reforms because they're never coming.
