well carney gave that speech where he acknowledged how canada is a direct beneficiary of western hegemony but now it’s bad because trump was mean to them but also his solution is to try to band together with the rest of the west to replace america in the aggregate. he’s practically mao.
you know when you say a word like 50 times and it stops sounding like a word anymore? that is what internet westerners have done to the word authoritarian within my mind palace
certainly economically it’s not great in the short term and probably not over the long term either if 
current trends continue but in their minds anyway they are playing the long game of betting on the continued existence of western hegemony and their privileged place in it because in their present frame of mind it’s the only option they have. the tenders of ‘the garden’ don’t see themselves collabing with venezuela and ghana to solve problems, they see themselves as dictating terms, and they don’t have the weight to do that without their violent idiot child and its pet rabid bulldog running rampant all over the place. it’s the same implicit threat that has always existed behind the ‘rules based order’, trump just takes the implicit and makes it explicit as a matter of course.
perhaps things would be different if they didn’t also rely on the same hegemonic ‘rules based international order’ for extraction of the global south’s resources, but for now they do. if anything, the west’s political classes are inwardly enthused at this fresh infusion of material for the load bearing pillar of their domestic politics, pointing at the us and saying ‘i’m sorry we can’t materially improve anything for you but at least we’re not like the americans!’

glad you’re here shirt sister, welcome to the locals only lifestyle
very good post. if you can’t go out into the world and talk to people without thinking about how they’re all irredeemably evil treatlerites and you tell yourself you only feel that way because of “materialism” (ie you read some internet lenin’s essay or watched a youtube) you’re not going to organize anything more than that disco elysium communism book club. it’s hard work and it’s going to take a long time and that sucks, so come here and let off some steam, but if you live in the west, don’t just automatically give up on everyone in whatever hellcountry you live in. if you can’t find an org, volunteer for something useful and integrate yourself just a little bit into whatever community exists where you are. if that’s too much, and all you can do is gently nudge a couple of people in the right (left) direction, you’re still doing something real, even if it feels small. even if you’re not in a place to do any of that, there’s still value in reframing the way you think about these things and maybe eventually getting to the point where you have the capacity to do more. but you can’t do that if you’re envisioning the person who drives an uber for 6 hours after their wendys shift as an intractable foe drunk off the riches of imperialism.

It’s a crowning achievement of the Dulles-era (and the immediate “post” Dulles-era which was still essentially a Dulles organization) CIA, the master stroke being Allen Dulles sitting on the fucking Warren Commission.
sidestep WITH side to side? what am i, a wizard?!
a meaningless mush word that is one of the many chicken and egg riddles of american political incoherence. you don’t have to have any real goals or material plans to achieve them, you just have to vaguely gesture at ‘progress’ or harness its ephemeral power like wind in a kite. i’d call it running on vibes but even there you have to be in contact with something solid to feel them. it’s the ideology of answering questions with obama campaign posters.
you can’t be mean to tiny sweet innocent little canada, it’s not their fault they have to
lift government investment in defense-related research and development by 85%, boost defense industry revenues by more than 240%, increase defense exports by 50 per cent and create up to 125,000 quality new jobs, the strategy says.
and they’re really sorree about it bud
i feel very confident in saying that if your politics are serious enough to actually organize within the imperial core (ie they matter), then you are not going to be in a position to become any kind of internet grifter because you will not have a large internet following on twitter or blue skies or whatever. the posters and streamers can contribute to an overall ‘flow’ leftward for randos on the internet but lenin was the first and only poster vanguard and thank god he had to wait for physical mail and periodical publication or he might never have had the time to do the revolution.
