It’s basically this https://elpidio.org/2018/02/12/citigroups-plutonomy-memo-there-are-rich-consumers-and-there-are-the-rest/
There’s like 20% of the population that’s comfortable, and nothing much has changed in their lives. They don’t interact with anybody who is struggling, and they consume media that tells them that everything is going great. They literally live in an alternate reality from the rest of the population.
literally what libs think, here’s a representative stormfront comment for you
The fact that European left shat the bed by aligning with bloodthirsty libs is definitely a problem going forward. However, it does look like a lot of people in Europe are starting to recognize that US cynically used them in their proxy war, and I don’t think things can ever go back to business as usual after the war ends. The economic damage is just too great.
That could be the point where pro US regimes start falling across Europe. We’re already in the early stages of that happening now. Boots on the ground will kick that into overdrive.
The stories from those that made it back were really hilarious. They were absolutely shocked to find out that fighting a professional army is nothing like hunting civilians in Afghanistan.
that’s my reading as well
But he’s our dictator and that’s what matters!
that we know of
Indeed, there are similar trends, but there’s also the dialectic at play where a new synthesis constantly emerges. It’s just just the same thing repeating over and over.
history rhymes :)

Indeed, I the big difference nowadays is that people in the imperial core increasingly see the true face of the empire.
It’s absolutely incredible to me that the imbeciles running burger empire are shocked that their adversaries are taking move to counter what they’re doing. Like they really thought everybody would just sit back and let them do whatever they want.
😀
Thing is that the trust has collapsed at this point. Nobody outside the west believes in US anymore as evidence by most of the world aligning with Russia, and even in the imperial core people are losing faith in the system. There’s a reason people in US now see TikTok as a more reliable source of news https://www.businessinsider.com/social-users-think-tiktok-news-more-reliable-than-instagram-facebook-2024-6
peak western diplomacy right there 😂
