Genuinely curious. I keep thinking “it can’t get much worse without some kind of mass uprising” but the ability of the general population of Western states to just soak up suffering seems endless. Do you think we will actually see mass movements in the next decade or two? Or just slowly lurch into a void of ever-shittier liberalism?

By the West I mean like. Western Europe and the Anglosphere I guess.

    I'm absolutely not hoping for it or looking forward to it but that's what it would take.

    And as long as liberals and chuds have somebody to punch down at that's what they'll do.

    So until it all comes crashing down and everybody's at zero you aren't going to convince more than 5% of Americans to willingly sacrifice to benefit others.
