Red panda because Dirt Owl said so.
He didn’t didn’t do nothing, not by a long shot. He was active in it. He carried water for them in the press, the UN and the ICC. He provided parts, equipment and ammunition. He provided intel and support. He is not just complicit, he’s a perpetrator.
I have also heard this line of thinking, it’s very dark and does not paint a hopeful picture for the emancipation of humanity. But I kind of see the logic to it. Europe doesn’t have the martial strength to impose a European empire, especially not in the face of the American war machine. Nor does it have the economy to make one, especially with neoliberalism ripping the copper out the walls of European economies preventing reinvestment and industrialisation (see: the Bank Of England’s policy of quantitative tightening ruining the plans of the uk Labour Party, and all of Europe’s industrial capital looting its own assets).
In this proposed reality Europe must look to the other powers, America being the default choice, but an increasingly unfriendly one, does Europe fancy itself being an extraction zone for an exploitative empire? The boot on the other foot for them. To look the other way, would BRICS even be interested in Europe coming cap in hand? Maybe, but certainly not with terms Europe wouldn’t be too proud to accept. However individual BRICS countries maybe. Russia - a weird one, some countries may be happy to side with them (Germany possibly would consider it in a role as Russias workshop?) but I don’t see other countries like Poland going that way without a fight. China - too remote, too far away and too hated by most of Europe, maybe some nations like Turkey could look to them though. Brazil? Surely too busy with the American empire to its north to have time for Europe. South Africa - who knows? It’s a very different future to the one we grew up in.
If Trump starts an inter nato war or just dissolves nato due to America invading one of the other founding members, that’s going to be the biggest geopolitical win for America’s enemies who won’t have to lift a finger.
Haven’t you heard? China is collapsing the same collapse that the west has been wrongly predicting since the 90s…
Western economists keep doing the “Ah! Well. Nevertheless, ” thing about Chinas economy that Libs do regarding Trump’s legal Teflon.
“They can make cheap junk, but can’t compete with high tech manufacturing” - they are now better at high tech manufacturing.
“They’re building railway infrastructure they can’t afford” - they could afford it and now their railways are world leading.
“Their housing market is a bubble” - they just nationalised the companies and make houses for homes not for commodities
“They can compete on high tech manufacturing but not do their own designs” - their own designs are now eating western designers markets (electric cars anyone?)
“Western investment in china is drying up, which will slow their advances” - Chinese state investment makes up the slack
“Global demand is slowing” - the domestic market is growing
Etc… etc… etc…
So much for not negotiating with terrorists.
If a fascist man, who nazi salutes at public events and who publicly supports nazi and fascist aligned governments around the world cannot be called a nazi, who can?
