    Honestly at this point I think Harris and the DNC are the “acceleration” option. They make Trump seem sensible (for a genocidaire, they’re all genocidaires) in contrast.

    No one should support either, but Harris seems very likely to start WW3, and sooner than later. While I don’t exactly put any weight on RFK or Tulsi Gabbard’s opinions, it seems pretty clear to me why they and many others are endorsing Trump at this point. The DNC is going full fash, full WW3, and fast- the GOP is little better, but at this point my opinion is that the genuinely more fascistic and destructive of the two is the DNC.

    Hopefully the US’ decline can outpace its frantic preparations for (causing) armageddon. I remain optimistic on the broader global scale, and I’m not a defeatist, but I suspect that will be needed, for the collective peoples of the west and of the US in particular to shock them to their senses. Past that- I suppose if it happens, it happens. This was probably the most likely endgame scenario (not armageddon, but the very real and likely threat of it, with imperial hubris leading the west to actively seek it out) to come out of the western world’s cultivating and perfecting every form of evil and exploitation for 500 years, and the rise of the first purposefully genocidal settler-state to its hegemonic peak.

      I think the US decline is outpacing it’s ability to ramp up production, and Europe seems to be on the same path, so I think there’s cause for optimism.
