    I swear to fuck if we have another economic collapse where all the poor people lose their savings and jobs just because rich people can’t spend their money wisely, there better be a fucking revolution or else humanity is lost to our own sheer stupidity

    • At the very least I hope to see something more dignified than occupy wall street. In reality we will probably see the full take over of oil interests and start another war.

      A revolution into what though? The American people are so divided and can’t seem to agree on a seemingly infinite number of issues that would have likely been non issues had the government not been actively creating them and fanning the flames of existing divides for most of its existence. If you keep your populace fighting amongst themselves, especially with issues tied to religion and morality, they will likely never actually unite and fight their true enemy.

      Anyway, if the USA fell then north america would probably either turn into a complete totalitarian state owned by the banks and controlled by a private police force. Either that or will break up into smaller territories where existing States will form their own unions, some more progressive then the ones that will bring back mask of slavery and fascism. If there were ever an actual revolution in the USA, the existing borders would be extensively remapped and many would be dissolved entirely. Not quite sure what would happen to Canada. Maybe it would absorb some of the northern states?

      In my eyes if theres a revolution that doesn’t also take down the global banking system, it will be a revolution in name only.

    I love seeing this happen. All those taxpayers who hated communism and revolution, and passively supported every deed their empire did to others, the payback time has come. Your government was never there and it will never be there to protect you.

    I almost forgot this, China was there in 2008. Who is there in 2023?

      On the other hand, this will likely only strengthen the jingoistic propaganda and calls for foreign blood. Johnny Liberal may have felt a bit queasy about the whole Iraq business, but if it comes down to the choice of filling his stomach and “some brown people somewhere” getting bombed with white phosphorus? Well, I think we both know how quickly and what kind of choice will be made.

        Their genocidal and hatred ambitions have a limit. And the whole world will just end up uniting against Anglosphere officially, if this keeps ramping up, because a lot of countries outside Anglosphere are very uncomfortable with what has happened with Russia culturally. Smaller countries know tomorrow it is their turn. It was somewhat acceptable with China before this, because they are less accessible.

        The simple thing about this is, people think they can forever sit on fences while watching the world burn, not realising the flames will come to them. People hate being democratic society vigilantes and revolutionaries.

        The last thing that western liberals en masse could want is WW3, and I do see that happening, as maniacal as it sounds. We have already seen females do Ukraine bodypaint naked marches, and people on a Moscow snowfall post wish for radioactive rain. They would really rather see “some brown people” or non-Anglos get wiped off for their own comfort.
