Fascism and Invading Russia During Winter
Name a more iconic duo.
We’ll know in eight years. But I wouldn’t put money on Israel just vanishing in a puff of hate. Haiti still exists, ffs. Iraq and Syria still exist, despite being bombed to shit repeatedly. Countries with far less have endured for far longer.
And there are simply too many Israelis with too much to lose for it to vanish inside a decade.
Unfortunately, when the people you’re firing on have been starved for any kind of economic base over the last two decades and subjected to repeated bombings and invasions prior to this, it is apparently something you absolutely can do. As to whether it will work out long term? Israel has access to the US
Over the long term, Israel’s overall domestic situation may end up looking more like El Salvador’s or Panama’s or Qatar’s. But who cares? The country will plunge further into a caste-system of Jewishness, while the nation’s finances will be tied increasingly to western financial interests. That feels like a feature rather than a bug.
AI is really the last gasp of the USA in terms of trying to outpace the crisis of capitalism
People said this in 2020 during COVID and 2008 with the housing bust.
The US can outpace the collapse because it controls an international currency that commands trade markets. That’s why we can just keep buying more widgets forever, for the next widget milling project to make fake economic activity.
The real thing that will kill the American economy is a collapse in the price of fossil fuels. But I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one.
Or maybe we’ll just move on to the Next Thing, like we did after the VR and Crypto markets flopped.
So long as you can print new cash faster than bag holders can go bankrupt, we can keep running this thing forever.
If anyone important gets caught holding a bag, bailout and move on.
