    If your system has allowed itself to devolve into “vote for my slightly less oppressive status quo or else you get abject oppression” then you kinda have to begin admitting the entire system is folly and needs to be dismantled.

      You’re not wrong. Easier said than done, though. Looks like we’ll be doing it the hard way, societal collapse.

        newsom bulldozes homeless camps and arrests them while having a donor base of tech bro cryptofascists and real estate developers, Biden ships blockbuster bombs to Gaza, Obama drones multitudes and continues Bush’s “nation building” kleptocracies, Bill Clinton sets the future economic agenda for all of the above when he guts welfare spending while sacrificing local industry jobs for financialization via NAFTA

        This is fine.

        Yes. Capitalist Imperialism is only marginally better than Fascism. It enables the rise of the other, afterall.
