    It's not really 'doomer' if it's realistic.

    The US will embrace full blown fascism in the future. and we'll most likely see a full collapse and societal breakdown which leads to a civil war and balkanization by the end of this decade.

    There is never going to be a leftist revolution in the US for the same reason there has never been one in Britain and won't be in the future there either. The left is too divided and fixated around identity politics instead of class consciousness and will not be able to radically change anything cause we'll spend all of our time infighting over stupid shit. The far right on the other hand are more organized and about to have 4 years of a lame duck neolib president to inspire even more disgruntled people to their movement while the left will spend all it's time still ignoring the working class and trying to radicalize smug, middle class libs. At most, we'll end up with a handful of small left groups who will be gradually outnumbered by the far right who have had decades to organize and get their shit together.

    I guess that's my take. Fascism by 2024 and full civil war by 2028.

        I don't think there will be much we can do besides community organizing and trying to do something in our local areas on a smaller scale. I've been reading into civil wars and collapse scenarios and I think the only real hope we'll have is from trying to organize to build better communities for when things get bad.
