If it's a celebratory wankfest like 2009, then we're fucked, see you all in 2024....but, if there is sustained and widespread protests that get the cops out and make the media class blow a casket about the "ungrateful left" then we're back in business folks

    we're probably gonna see a lot of anarchists stop being anarchists. like a shit ton of anarchists aren't anarchists because they actually believe in the ideology, but rather because they're slightly edgy succ dems or literally just neolibs who have deluded themselves into believing that they're anarchists.

    Lmao the odds that it will be a celebrity wankfest are 100%

      And miss an opportunity to present Horse Shoe Theory to the public? They will link the left to reactionary protests and say, "See President Biden? All non-moderates bad!"

        Aren't they sort of petering out already or have been coopted by liberalism? I dunno they were kneeling with cops at one point.

          idk I feel like BLM will just be a wave that crashes and rolls back repeatedly for the next decade or so.

          the whole thing started under Obama and came back in vogue this year and its not like the ruling class is going to significantly address their demands to the point that police violence against black people declines.

              Yeah, I feel like next big killing will have the chance to have larger protests. That time we need to be ready to help lead them. We can't let liberals coopt them. Every socialist org needs to be ready to provide the manpower and help with the intellectual parts of the protests.

    It will be a celebratory wankfest, but probably not as destructive as 2009. I can see the attempted good vibes of Biden going badly. The whole settle for Biden thing might play in our benefit as it basically tells people Biden is bad.

    Which is why people need to make their way to DC and protest Biden.
