    It really is unprecedented

    We're in unprecedented times. ICBMs, global supply chains, financialization, real time planetary communication, global warming, and of course late capitalism - This is, as far as I know, the first time that there's been nothing left that they can plunder and feed to the Imperial Core. This time it's not Labor threatening to collapse the system from within, it's the vacuum at the center of the Imperial core pulling everything down towards it.

    They can't offer good jobs, they can't offer improving material conditions, they can't offer treats, they can't offer any kind of security or stability. All they've got left to motivate their hogs is the thrill of inflicting violence on someone who can't fight back.
