Yeah, I know the one.

I guess he did have dementia at that point.

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't make it any further than their nearest highway.

The 2016 evacuation of Fort McMurray involved "just" 80,000 from the town and there were enough traffic issues then.

There are 15 million vacant homes in the US. Some of that will be simply due to homes briefly being between tenants or owner-occupants but even if that would account for the vast majority of vacant homes it still leaves enough to house everyone and then some.

From my reading Hudson's Superimperialism is an more an extension of Lenin's Imperialism, based on how material conditions had evolved over the interim fifty years and the lessons learned from (at initial publication) the first generation or so of US dollar hegemony. To simplify it maybe too much, it adds a monetary dimension to the already established framework of finance capital being the driving force behind imperialism.

Superimperialism is indeed the same English term often used for Kautsky's Überimperialismus hypothesis. Yet apart from the initial parallel of a global cartel, ie. dollar hegemony, I don't see much of Kautsky's ideas represented in Hudson's work, but I'm also not terribly familiar with überimperialism.

Lenin.

Germany is doing this all very consciously, while knowing clearly what the outcome is.

In fact Germany claims one of its official reasons for existence is the defence of the Israeli state and its supposed right to exist. It's considered anti-semitic and anti-German to criticize this position or to even express sympathy for the colonized peoples of Palestine. Allegiance to this official position may be required for naturalized citizens moving forward.

Meanwhile actual anti-semitism (violence against Jews, vandalization of Jewish property and symbols) goes on uncommented.

How is Khan a fascist? I'm genuinely curious.

If you read that media bias writeup you'll realize is that all it says is "The Grayzone often questions the US state department line so they're untrustworthy."

War in Africa? Or will some of these ECOWAS states be democratically couped?

You don't have to wonder, the information isn't hard to find.

The five BRICS countries overtook the G7 in terms of unadjusted GDP earlier this year, contributing about 31% to the global total vs. 30% from the G7. BRICS are expected to reach 50% by the end of the decade. In terms of purchasing power parity they were already equal in 2021. The five BRICS countries also make up 40% of the global population.

Now add the GDP, populations, and growth prospects for the thirty or so applicant nations on top of that, as well as how much more robustly they can grow once they get out of the shadow of the US empire.

BRICS is a big deal, especially now that the US and it's vassals are otherwise occupied, allowing the age of multipolarity and dedollarization to come even more quickly than anticipated.

The imperial managers are looking for a way out, so they're slowly allowing mainstream media to report some semblance of the truth, namely that Ukraine has absolutely no chance without participating in peace negotiations in good faith.

Stalin's biggest mistake was stopping at Berlin
