Wasn’t much of a bet.

    Bad for the empire that people are waking up. Where we were 15 years ago, 10 years ago, even 5 years ago… It’s nothing short of astonishing. More and more people are realizing what’s happening.

      Kind of. Some are half realizing what’s happening but then falling for right wing populism which identifies some of the problems correctly but misses the underlying cause (capitalism) and proceeds to propose non-solutions which just involve doubling down on capitalism and scapegoating of marginalized groups.

      The center is collapsing, liberalism is discredited, but the revolutionary left is not the only option that the disaffected can find themselves gravitating towards, and it is clear that we are also seeing a resurgence of fascism as a result, particularly in the imperial core, the most reactionary of all places in the world.

        It depends, but many petit-bourgeois are gravitating toward fascism; the rest are unorganized.
