With US out of NATO, it is a point closer to Europe to threaten Europe.

The US has Britain, which is essentially a US client state these days.

ushering in the last 16 years of radicalization

Accepting fascism is “radical” now?

A lot of these are perfectly naive.

It, for example, assumes that mass media wasn’t being controlled beforehand (it always is) and that corporate power wasn’t being protected beforehand (it always is).

Fascism is not some aberration of the liberal nation state - it’s a built-in feature of it.

I live in a dumpster FIRE.

Seems like a surefire way to get a promotion these days.

Fuck tolerance.

See? It’s that easy. No paradoxes required.

It is only a matter of time before pigs or some paramilitary pig-wannabes perpetrate a massacre of protestors in the US.

When (not if) they do, watch out… it will be open-season on anybody that’s marginalized or slightly left than Heinrich Himmler.

I sure hope you all are ready for this.

This is true… but it doesn’t change the power dynamic at play at all - merely the stakes for the individual involved.

Yea but the charity has to be nice to you since they depend on volunteers.

How is this any different from the, “if you don’t like your job you can just leave” argument?

The presence of a safe word doesn’t exclude the existence of a hierarchy in the same way that “checks and balances” doesn’t make a hierarchy any less hierarchical.

Voluntary hierarchies are not a thing.

Sounds like a shittake emanating from the same kind of anarchists that loudly proclaim the values of “leaderless” organisation before posting a meme glorifying Nestor Makhno.
