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.

What type of liberalism is expecting a revolution to sprout from the soil when it's been salted for the last 200 years.

    That's not how revolutions work. Learn more history.

    I have. Relying on chuds or liberals to fight the revolution for you is exactly how a revolution gets coopted and all the socialist get rewarded for their hard work with a shallow grave. Its what liberals did when they were certain that comey was going to take down Trump for them.

    And then meuller.

    And then garland.

    There are very few ways to make me detest you more than to tell me to learn history when I'm very familiar with history and also very familiar with the fact that 90% of Americans violently oppose any real progress.

    I mean seriously you're trying to lecture me on not knowing how histpry works when your argument is that historical and material conditions don't make a difference when it comes to starting revolutions.
