Given how many posts have no comments when one does that draws my eye a lot more than the vote counts. If there's a nice convo going on I'm more likely to upvote that than the post itself. Sometimes I remember to upvote on my way out, but usually the conversation was the content I stayed for not the post that incepted it.

Naw I just expanded on your already great points

Change in the US will happen out of necessity when the US does try to do this but can actually receive pushback but much of it will have to happen because average people take up the call to build something better. The movement is growing every day.

I am optimistic that over enough time and with enough deliberate action anything is possible. Maybe not in my lifetime but that's the fight I've committed myself to and it's a righteous one.

Right I think a lot of this is going to collapse and STILL the US will be one of the most powerful countries. That is how disgustingly evil we have been at suppressing the rest of the world. Once our oppressive boot is less potent there are some beautiful developments in this world waiting to happen.

A multi polar world will surely emerge. The empire will crumble slowly and gradually cede power to other forces.

I think the reality is the US will still be one of the most powerful countries but in a world where they seriously have to operate in diplomacy and not just imperial shows of force will be a net positive for the world overall.

The hope there is other nations that are polar powers and are nominally engaging in anti capitalist behavior will spread that ideology and help lift the the tides of revolutionary fervor to wholesale replace capitalism as the global economic system.

Unless the US does the thing where they decide to violently lash out (as empires do in the past collapses) and nukes the world a few times over. I don't think this is likely but also it is assuredly not non zero which is insane.

I really dread the world we are barreling towards where corporations are going get people to pay them to become 24/7 surveillance drones for them.

Devils advocate this tech could be amazing for things like surgeons, mechanics, engineers, etc. Any job where a HUD with relevant data or overlays might be advantageous when physically interacting with the world in a way that would preclude you from easily accessing that data (not enough hands, screens, etc)

I disagree mostly in the name of being specific with my words. Most people who espouse these politics in the US are neolibs who balk at having to alter their lives in any way to achieve those goals. They agree with policy like that right up until they have to do their part and help pay for it with their taxes.

Not saying these are your politics btw in case that wasn't clear.

They're vaguely defined by design in the US. It makes it easier to condemn an amorphous blob of vague ideas that ranges from centrist liberalism to anarchy than to actually have to engage in substantive arguments. Especially when all the existing structures that be fall in line to convince the masses of it.

To me leftists begin at being anticapitalist. I ask the question because its hard to even really know what "leftist" would be on Rumble. That platform is 1) for pedophile Nazis and 2) botted to hell and back. You're not getting through to people genuinely on Rumble - it's the Twitter of streaming platforms (maybe second to Kick idk).

When you say leftist what do you mean?

Depends on the substance of the disagreement imo

People are upset because Zohran ran with anti-zionism as a primary part of his campaign and he has seemingly not stayed the course there.

I'm also unsure what the rest of his transition team has to do with the whole thing and it feels like some of them are catching strays here lol

Likely in reference to Zohran's endorsement of Zionist Brad Landers in his attempt to primary Dan Goldman in NYC.
