As a solitary meat popsicle with limited understanding of fucked up shit, at what "level" of fucked up shit is the US finally and officially "perma-fucked"?
Every time my meat popsicle brain thinks "That's probably the last straw" they find thousands more straws somewhere AND I DON'T GET IT.

That was back at the moment when Trump threw around enough tariffs to make countries with longstanding enmity sign direct trade deals with each other, cutting us out as the middleman. Those will never, ever come back (they were mostly forged in the wake of WWII, when the US had the only functional economy)

As for when we'll see it? I think we have a "oh shit" world stage moment if the US tries to attack Greenland, as Denmark will then have to defend - and then by chain of treaties WWIII kicks off.

If we avoid that fate somehow, then there probably won't be a specific moment - the US will over twenty or so years just slowly collapse in on itself and other countries will quietly start ignoring US while publicly paying lip service. … - There will probably be an event when we publicly can't afford the giant military we have which will be an existential crisis for a news cycle.

That's my attempt to read the tea leaves in the crystal ball.

I'm going to start fantasizing about 15 years from now being invaded by Canada and running out into the street to thank them for it

[-] Reygle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

We'll exchange brewskis, insult each others' brands, and shakes hands abouts it.

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Sounds like a plan!

"Americans, why haven't you built a parallel system that can take on the strongest military in the world yet? It's been over a year."

Edit: see what I mean?

Easy to say

so rather than just pay a tax like a socialist country would up front, US is now only just surviving on tariffing ..which is paid … by their own people ….as a tax. On top of whatever tax you already pay ……while digging more deficits.

You know, I used to think that "our children will have to pay for it" only applied to the working class.

Now I'm wondering if the people in power recognize how this might end badly for their offspring. I hope it does.

There's a 0% chance I'm going to slave away while some rich family's children live like gods.

Man says he'll never do the thing he's been doing is whole adult life.

[-] TronBronson@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Not everyone got trapped in wage slavery, just the majority of you. Those of us who didn’t still care tho. We want you to have a drug dealers life style without having to sell drugs ❤️

[-] nomy@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 month ago

Unless you're part of the owner class you're a wage slave too comrade.

Class consciousness is the only way out of this.
