Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I might be high on copiun but I think the level of imperialist infighting we're currently seeing might be a product of the weakening of imperial hegemony. The rate of profit of imperial extraction no longer provides sufficient growth to stave off bigger and bigger crises more and more often, which is why the bourgeoisie of the metropole has become so shamelessly exploitative even if everyone can see it's killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

The political momentum that this horrible genocidal structure gained is so huge that even very influential capitalists like Buffet and Soros can't pull enough political capital to halt, much less reverse. They've been talking about Keynesian measures for god knows how long and yet the big steamroller keeps chugging along.

I think revolution is no longer hopeless, it's looking inevitable. Hardly a week goes by without some shit happening that would have sparked a wave of riots a decade ago.
