The world is is kind of fucked either way. If MAD has broken down and the nukes are actually flying the entire planet will be destabilized as various environmental systems break down. More nukes don't help and I can't in good conscience say that I should make the decision or know what would be best for humanities future. The capitalist empire can't really sustain itself either way if nuclear hellfire has scarred and destroyed the world. There would only be global hatred for the Americans if they nuke the chinese like that.

I can understand both decisions from the Chinese though. It would only be fair, after all, for the chinese to retaliate.

Centrists do love avoiding "ideology" and then being cowards in front of any moral question and position. They just reinvent new ways to show the Disco Elysium quote:

Moralists don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

to buy more time to organize revolutionary organizations

What revolutionary organizations truly exist in the US? Like we have some fringe political parties but there just aren't the conditions for anything close to a real revolution in this country. We barely have unions half the time and a lot of them aren't militant in any way. Most people in the US are atomized little consumers with treat brain. Mass politics in this country just can't really exist in a meaningful way right now and that's regardless of who is president.

If the United States is going to have a revolution then it will be after capitalism has further declined and the conditions arise for it. We can prepare and build organizations for when that happens and better our local communities in the mean time.

No but this is about continued influence after whatever backlash happens against Millei. It's to keep influence once he's gone.

I think the establishment understand he's kind of useless and annoying. Also, he's the perfect neoliberal ghoul to oversee the destruction of infrastructure. He's the soulless husk of a man who'll do anything the capitalists want because that's what he's been trained for.

It is my God given right to drive my car into the ocean. No liberal repair crews can impinge on my freedom of navigation as an American.

I doubt Israel will willingly release all the Palestinians they have locked up on bullshit charges and I think Hamas will try to get as many of them released as they can since Oct 7 was mainly a hostage taking operation from what I remember. A hostage swap is definitely going to happen at some point but I doubt it will fully end the hostilities.

I think that fundamentally too many of the contradictions in Israel have been broken, laid bare, or challenged by Oct 7 and the work of the axis of resistance. Israel can't go back to the previous status quo since that's been delegitimized. However this progresses there will be a new dynamic in the region and that new dynamic is still coming into being even if they somehow get a ceasefire enacted temporarily.

I don't know if I'd got that far. Some payments might be delayed for like a week but they can always use this as an excuse to cut taxes and social programs. The capitalists will get something out of this if there is a shutdown.

Also, oh my fucking God. I just checked to see how long the funding is for. It's for literally six months. In September they get to have this all happen again.

Less than two months before the election we get everything to line up fucking perfectly for a chaotic election. I can see the government shutdown becoming a new crisis that the GOP tries to use to hurt biden. It would be a very suitable crisis for the country and it will layer perfectly well with whatever other BS is happening at the time.

I could see whatever negotiations happen around that possible shutdown determining who wins the presidency.

Honestly I have no idea how I missed it. I mean I guess my media consumption has changed to where i get most of my news from this mega and then I play video games. I've got to catch up on my dumb podcasts probably.
