no problem
It is the same vibe. Basically anti-imperialism that takes shortcuts in analysis - even if it arrives at the right conclusion. It is not something I have seen much of (aside from Twitter and Reddit, where every take is a market niche and you encounter every conceivable brainworm).
I'm sure the liberals will start doing this right away once they learn a new vocabulary word, but there is a key difference. The liberals say shit like this to get everybody to shut their brains off, but actually, now is the time for everybody to turn their brains on and be very thoughtful about what's happening. There is a lot which is in flux at the moment. We're talking about the potential winding down of the petrodollar and unipolar US hegemony on one hand, the potential disposition of a significant counterhegemonic state on the other, or anything in-between depending on how events shake out. A lot of unprecedented events are taking place politically and economically, and now is no time for lazy thinking. That's all I'm trying to stress personally. All of the bourgeois think tanks are working overtime throughout this crisis. We cannot let our guard down.
Yeah that’s fair. I still can’t say I love the term, but that’s all reasonable
