    The world is a capitalist hell hole. Other countries have their own self interest. Some of these Arab nations that ally with the United States (I kind of view them like Israel, like one of our proxies or Vassal States… ) like Saudi Arabia are used to spy on American citizens. I know their populations are disgusted by what is happening in Palestine, but it’s so shameful that the Arab world has just kind of ignored the atrocities in Gaza. I also understand what is at stake. We live in the age of small tactical nukes, but still the escalation ladder could increase but at the same time, some of these leaders, you know, because no war but the class war, will just turn a blind eye to the use of small tactical nukes ( They’re talking about the survivability of nuclear warfare as they try to normalize it. Even airlines are going to fly as the bombs are dropping because they took out insurance policies. The show must go on…) because they have their own capitalist hierarchies… I think we’re gonna witness the use of a nuclear weapons on Iran possibly… It’s just a crazy mess of entanglement. Trying to make sense that anything is foolish. You should just think in terms of self-benefit and the cannibalization of each country’s citizens.

    From what I gather, I think they’re going to do good cop bad cop and try to distance themselves from Israel while at the same time supporting Israel. Which is kind of what they’ve been doing trying to play both sides really. You know, the ratchet effect. Controled Opposition. Manage Perception. So what I can gather really is that I don’t trust even any mainstream media really. Usually when stories come out, I listen to both sides, and then I look at where the tanks are. Like, where are the weapons being transported? They got all these talks, but it’s just really pageantry as they get ready for the next stages. I look at the photos, the material conditions, and some first hand accounts. And then I lean on framework. I do believe that the Western media is a powerful machine that has turned America into mush brains though. I mean, it’s so horrific my mind has kind of turned to mush. We are one of the most propagandized societies in the world. They make fun of North Korea, but it’s like imagine being in Disneyland with no money, and you’re not allowed to leave. It is a small world after all in Yankee land.

    So, there are many think tanks and many people inside of Trump’s inner circle. Just like Stalin, the way even the CIA admitted had collective leadership and he wasn’t as authoritarian as the merican public thought. Even Hitler had an inner circle and Trump also has an inner circle. So I pay attention to that aspect as well. I think we’re in the age of anarcho-capitalism, where ideology is no longer necessary. We’re abandoning soft power. and anything goes. Just throw some shit on the wall and see if it sticks. this is either always been the case, or it’s just accelerating. And I think it’s just the conclusion of fucking around with all these proxy wars. Eventually we’re gonna have to deal with the damn thing.

    It’s like there hasn’t been any human progress, and I’ve kind of rethought this whole idea of an authoritarian, especially when you’re dealing with a nation as big as the United States, Russia, or China. I mean China is state capitalist and Americans are just blind to the inner workings of the Chinese people. So I have a strong suspicion that there’s a lot that goes on there that would be enlightening if we could get access to it. And I do follow some of English-speaking Chinese YouTubers that kind of enlighten me a little bit. But you know, there’s still some self-interest with those people too. When I advocate for the land that I live in, I like to be relative or objective and point out the positives of these other cultures, because war really doesn’t help anybody. But at the same time, I mean, when the United States is no longer the hegemon, will someone else take that place? I mean, neoliberalism was an attempt at kind of pausing the world’s conflict. And it worked in a way for a short time, but I would think communist would realize that eventually would come to an end. And now we are the generation that is going to witness this. Anywho.
