They were paving the rose garden today. Maybe they unearthed an ancient evil?
Don, can you support a Labor-Reform coalition in the UK against the Corbyn party?
Corbyn party now at 15. This is probably the last shot the UK has to pull out of a tailspin without a revolution.
Ok hell yeah I've become a zohran stan
The public backlash against such a move would make every protest of the last 25 years combined look like a congratulatory handjob to George Bush. I can't see it happening.
I mean within 75 years
The UK? Do you mean the independent nations of Scotland, England, Wales, and Ireland?

There is no way the US in anything like its current form can continue for more than a few more decades. The American capitalist class has been forced into a state of hyper-cannibalism by the rise of China and the falling rate of profit. It has lost the capacity for class mediation through any mechanism except violence. The worst case scenario (outside of nuclear apocalypse, which would also destroy the USA) is a period of open fascism, and such a thing can only ever last a few decades. Fascism is inherently unstable and constantly accelerates its own contradictions. The free land and imperial plunder that undergirded fascist-like US colonialism has been squeezed for all its got. This system is absolutely doomed.
Maybe some radically transformed thing called the USA emerges from the ashes, but it would need to be a state with a fundamentally different approach to class mediation that, I think, could emerge only from a dramatic break in continuity and the de facto end of the USA as it has existed to this point.

I think the main rhetoric is that Putin has gotten what he wanted and has now dumped Trump. This narrative will reverse as soon as convenient.
