Is it tho
Ah, yes, I forgot. Those two famously still in power people... checks notes... Barak Obama and Joe Biden.
They meant system, but I'll bite, Mao "stepped down" after his failed cultural revolution
American pseudodemocracy is easier to overthrow than authoritarian state capitalism. Things are pretty awful in America, but a lot of folks underestimate the depths of how awful a system can get. They think their worst day is the worst day that ever happened. They're sheltered.
I saw a lot of people on Reddit in 2016 saying that Trump would shake the system up and convince people to join the left and start a revolution. Did we do it? Did we shake the system up? Were they right?
Confusing to read because the main issue at hand with America is the global imperialism not how good or bad life is for the average U.S. citizen. Yeah of course the imperialism coming home to roost and the GaS pRiCeS are getting talked about by little Treatlers who just want to be comfortable. But I’m not sure how Trump not getting overthrown backs up this idea that America’s system is easier to overthrow than was Mao’s system
Let’s be clear, accelerationism is a morally bankrupt strategy and never works to the degree its proponents think it will. But it is also undeniable that leftist ideologies have not been this popular in America since the 1920s.
It’s not entirely due to Trump, but rather the dialectical relationship between the capitalist mode of production and the innate human rejection of oppression.
I agree that popular opinion has gone very far to the left. But the danger of accelerationism is that it always leads to political disenfranchisement in equal or greater measure. Thus, popular opinion becomes decoupled from government action, and government action slides right.
We are creating a society of radical socialists who can't do anything to put their ideas into praxis. The levers of power are retreating from our reach as the elections become more rigged, and at the same time, the rich infect us with mind-viruses that psychologically disempower us, and turn our energy to unproductive strategies. We are lefter, but weaker. The end result is still a slide to the right.
A lot of people and countries have soured on America and it's imperialist project thanks to trump. And America has less support than ever for its illegal wars these days. So yeah it worked.
Wow, things sure are great for Palestinians and Ukrainians ever since Trump was elected!
Things seem to be bad for them regardless of whether Pepsi or Coke run USA.
Well, things aren't always as they seem. Trump may seem like a populist who "tells it like it is" and wants peace for Palestine, but he's not!

Translation: The Trump admin wants Palestine to stop suing Israel for genocide at the ICC, or they won't let diplomats come to the UN meetings. These people hate Palestinians and are sabotaging peace talks.
You need to care more about Palestinian lives.
It's not like the Pepsi party will suddenly fund Palestine's case in the ICC or work towards an independent Palestinian state either, will it? There have been numerous Pepsi governments since 1948, and things have progressively gotten worse for Palestinians.
The slightly less evil appearance of the progressive neoliberals only obfiscates the overall evil of the ideology. And because Trump does no such thing, we get to witness neoliberalism as it is, and that is refreshing and gives us more clarity on what is right and wrong.
Zizek has an anecdote about authoritarian parent and less authoritarian parent that applies here, and I agree with him fully now.
I don't care about clarity, I care about lives! If one more Palestinian child starves to death under Trump than would under Biden, then I prefer Biden! Slightly less evil? Slightly less dead children? Yes please! Because the alternative is doing nothing; sitting in our rooms and posting about how sad it is that these children are dying. I prefer voting to doing nothing. I prefer protesting to doing nothing. I prefer giving mutual aid to doing nothing.
As we can clearly already see none of your voting is doing anything. AIPAC and Coke and Pepsi run your country.
Please stay out of everyone else's business and we won't bother about what happens in your country. No more coups, no more aids,no more wars, no more techno feudalism. We can figure out our shit much better without you lot.
AIPAC is an American organisation. While I'm sure the billionaires funding it have plenty of influence over here, AIPAC itself doesn't.
You are as mistaken about My nationality as you are about the damage Trump has been doing to My country and every other country, many much worse than Mine.
Sorry, i didnt make myself clear, I am not scared of your retarded backward ass politicians. We can deal with them. Iran has shown this.We can deal with the fallout too. Civilisation will go on muich better without the US interference.
And I want to be exposed as little as possible to american politics reality TV, so i might not have the details right 100%, but i know your government is just a bunch of corporations and lobbyists in a trench coat, and I don't want their slimy hands anywhere near my government.
>the alternative is doing nothing; sitting in our rooms and posting about how sad it is that these children are dying
You just assumed i don't vote because I think Pepsi and Coke are both equally shit? Are you some kind of politics TERF who assumes people's voting choices?
