Who gives a fuck. Let them sink
I see you, canadian instance lemmy user. Well we’ll sneak into your maple syrups factories and pour high fructose corn syrup into the syrup vats, so only Americans can tolerate the taste.
Not technically. If Trump succeeds in turning the US into Russia, most countries would be fine, especially if they or their close allies were nuclear armed.
US citizens would become effectively slaves though.
You’d have the mother of all refugee crises on the border. I feel the sentiment though.
You assume that Americans are capable of reaching the border in the first place. No doubt they’ll starve to death while cursing their enemy political party first.
Come to think of it, what happens if supply lines break down and fuel stops being delivered? I could imagine the mother of all famines, as food won’t make it into the (food) desert and people can’t come out.
It’s regular people like you that will get most of the hit. Rich fucks will be fine.
If you think that makes you immune to Trump, well, all I can say is godspeed.
I sure hope so and hope its takes Israel, and a number of Arab governments, down with it. As someone who used to believe in the myth I am bitter and disgusted by what the US really is and always has been.
I couldn’t get very far through this briar-patch of buzz-words. But the collapse of the Soviet Union was brought about by material economic conditions, not by jumping up and down on their own dicks the way America is handling it.
I suspect the apt model for America’s future is the British Empire.
They are kinda doing a version of shock therapy on themselves though. (On their own dick.)
Ever read Walkaway by Cory Doctorow? I hope it’s like that.
Set in our near-future, it is a story of walking away from “non-work”, and surveillance and control by a brutal, immensely rich oligarchical elite; love and romance; a post-scarcity gift economy; revolution and eventual war; and a means of finally ending death
What an intersting premise. Hope that isnt spoiling too much I think ill have to find a copy through a nonzon source
When you look down at others instead of helping lift other up nobodt cares when you implode. I’m VERY sad for the regular non crazy american, you guys are the real victims.
