Advanced lessons in democracy from seppos

more like international treasure 
labour are just tories with supermajority and shit economy and imagination of a figleaf
i feel like reasoning of not existing is lacking (or rather heavily cultural). amerikkka has everything it needs to be fully autarkic, first of all, the profit rate is fine, the neighbors are cowed. even absent of imperial transfer, i don't see why it would disintegrate, and the imperial transfer doesn't show signs of stopping. california gdp is a joke without imperial power, so that's right out, and that encompasses all secessionist causes, maybe this side of hawaii.
while i can buy reconfiguration of empire, i doubt the state falling
dunno, i think euros could do 100 billion a year fairly easily (as a tribute to suzerain), its their 5% (3.5) war spending which will fuck social net up. but they are happy to do so

feels like melenchon is a bit copeful on the usa and people of france tbh.
especially this passage
I also want to make a bet. I think that by the end of the century, maybe even sooner, the United States of America will not exist. Why? Because it’s not a nation, it’s a country that has been at war with all its neighbuors since the moment of its birth. Samuel Huntington described it as a fundamentally unstable structure and predicted that the language that will eventually become dominant there is Spanish. A huge proportion of the US population now speaks Spanish at home, and this part of the population is mostly Catholic, in contrast with the ‘enlightened’ Protestants who founded the country. These linguistic and cultural dynamics are very important. People care deeply about their native language: the one their mother used to sing them to sleep, the one they use to tell their partner that they love them. In California – a state that was torn away from Mexico, with an economy that’s the fourth largest in the world in terms of GDP – Spanish is spoken everywhere, more so than English. It is no wonder that the campaign for Californian independence is gaining traction, with a referendum to be held perhaps as early as next year. I don’t know whether it will work, but it is striking that a major state within the world’s leading power is already considering the possibility of secession. We’re going to see more of this. And the country’s dominant ideology – ‘every man for himself’ – is not going to hold it together.
too much cultural analysis, little bit of materialist analysis. noticeable amount of those people speaking spanish would join ice-s to get irish ascension to the labor aristocracy, just like civil rights produced clyburn.

our take then
always a bad idea to rebel separately.

The appeal for drones, sent out to Gordon’s mailing list, has since grown into a “thermal drone matching campaign” run by the One Israel Fund, another charity based in the Five Towns that supports West Bank settlements. The group hosts tours of the West Bank and holds annual wine-tasting barbecues in the Five Towns to fund settlement security projects. Although it usually raises $3 million per year, the One Israel Fund took in $2.5 million in the month after Oct. 7, according to the Long Island Herald
Dunno, if it should be removed or not now, cause china can’t exactly control new york dipshits sales :(

Two Days Talking to People Looking for Jobs at ICE | Yanis Varoufuckice
(www.nplusonemag.com)
The recruiter for the air marshals told a crowd of applicants they shouldn’t bother applying if they were fat. “No one likes a fat cop,” she said. She drank Pink Monster Ultra Rosá and had multiple dreamcatcher forearm tattoos.
“I learned all these skills in the army—smash and grabs, site exploitation—and never got to use them,” he said. “So I’m here to kind of do what I learned to do over there, but this time here, defending my country.”
There was the young, taciturn southerner managing a batting cage near New Orleans, and the pimply youth from Kentucky, churning out Yahoo Finance content for twenty dollars an hour. Both said they were tired and bored. The latter said his father had been in ICE, but he “didn’t really know what he did.”
The last applicant I spoke to said he didn’t care much about the politics of ICE—it was just that he thought his taxes shouldn’t be used to buy school supplies for “illegal alien children.” What he was really interested in, he said, was parlaying his wages as a deportation officer into buying Airbnbs. “My classmates came up in the same environment as me,” he said, “but now they’re off posting photographs of Lamborghinis on Instagram, standing on balconies of waterfront apartments.”
His dad had also been in ICE and had broken down the doors of a Queens family that had just sat down to dinner when he stormed in. They all happened to be wearing Obama shirts and hats and were eating off of Obama dishware. Once, in the early part of his career, the man had gotten to travel to Southeast Asia on various deportation flights and had sent his son photographs of a beautiful waterfall in Cambodia. “I was like, what the fuck dad?” the young man said. “I thought you were supposed to be deporting people!”
The motivating force behind American career fascism would appear to be wanderlust.
