I don’t know if it’s just me or that I spend too much time reading YouTube comment sections or occasionally the enemy’s subreddit that is has given me a distorted perception of the masses or if it’s actually true that the broad masses are as reactionary and fascistic as they seem online and in media. It gives a kind of paranoia, a correct paranoia, that the Soviets felt in the 30s. I guess what I’m asking or looking for is whether my view of the American masses is distorted because of what I see online or if my view is correct. I prefer to be wrong on this.
I think in general the closer masses are to the Imperial core, the more their collective ideology is reactionary & America is the belly of the beast so I think you’re entirely correct. Within those conditions I’d say you’re best off just avoiding social questions when you don’t know someone’s positions & focus on economic facts like how the FED has no idea wtf they’re doing long-term and the US market plan for the last 50 years has been to give away market share to corporate monopolies as much as possible.
