Someone called the US a third world country with nuclear carriers, and, yeah, pretty much. There’s so much wealth in this country, there’s honestly no reason anyone should be struggling to get by, no reason people should need 80 hours a week just to tread water. We’ve designed our society to achieve its goals in the most wasteful, tortured fashion possible in nearly every case and painted it as a good thing. If we were a car, we’d be a lifted F350 super cab (small bed) powered by Flintstone engines, laughing at all the people riding past us on bikes and saying “thank God we’re not so backwards as them”. I think the death of the Soviet Union was maybe the worst thing that could have ever happened to the US, and the cold war liquidation sale has almost finished.

The bright side is that now that we’ve laid bare that all those years of pretentious finger wagging about the constitution was just a bunch of horseshit (my boy Montesquieu knows what’s up), there’s really nothing stopping us from a leftist revolution with teeth instead of Nazis with teeth. I’m not a fan of auths, but if I’ve got to pick one (and it’s looking that way), I’ll take commies over Nazis 10/10 times.
