      Funny how people are starting to realize that USSR was speaking the truth about the US all along.

        Are they? I’ve not seen that beyond people who were socialists in the first place, who, as socialists, would hopefully already know what a POS the West is.

          Anecdotally, I’ve noticed people in the liberal mainstream are a lot more open to discussing these things after the pandemic. A lot of people from all walks of life have been personally impacted by the economic crash while seeing how large corps keep making money hand over fist. There is a lot of anger now and people are much more willing to consider that perhaps capitalism isn’t all it’s cracked up to be after all.

          There also appears to be a growing resistance to the war in Europe where people are starting to realize they’re being used as pawns for US geopolitical ambitions. We’ll see this sentiment grow as more people start making the connection between the war and their declining standard of living.
