Looking over in horror from Britain - because we’ve still got our own version of this shit likely to come in a few years time. :-!
It seems to me Turmp’s real plan is to crash the economy so that the billionaires will be able to own everything. They will be able to buy it all dirt cheap in the coming recession. Billionaires get far richer in a crisis, it suits them fine since they already have the deepest pockets and are disaster capitalists who profit from instability and chaos.
Tmurp doesn’t care. He expects to live forever but even if he dies trying, it’ll still be his parting gift to his fellow rich bastards. His work is already done, the USA won’t recover from this for generations. He will be remembered forever as the greatest villain who ever lived in the history of the USA. He’s fine with that - he hates Everyone!
The AI bubble will pop so hard, not to even mention everything else going on. The money is all getting siphoned up in crypto and spirited away.
These fuckers are going to make an absolute killing, in more ways than one. They profit on chaos, despair and division.
I think it’s hard for people to imagine that an insane narcissistic demented president would deliberately wreck the global economy while telling the citizens it’s a golden age.
It’s all a distraction from the plundering of everything!
He’s got nothing to lose, a lot to gain, and he’s running out of time. The 1% are gonna own everything and fuck off to Argentina when the time comes.
No shit Sherlock!
Edit: At least, that seems to be the game plan from where I’m sitting.
Starmer is a fucking terrible PM and we knew he would be from the start because the establishment wheeled him out to get rid of the Jeremy Corbyn problem.
Starmer sold his soul long ago, his big “human rights lawyer” past counts for jack shit - it’s history. He’s so unlikeable, stands for nothing, has no moral clarity, and has absolutely zero charisma. He’s liked and respected less than a dull secondary school headteacher. Even people who agree with his policies die of boredom and cringe when he’s speaking.
He’s alienated so many former supporters, and meanwhile despite adopting right-wing talking points and policies, he is absolutely loathed by the people who will vote for Fartrage and ReBørk. They think he’s woke, when actually he’s just useless.
Starmer has painted himself into a corner like a twat, and now has nowhere else to go. Labour could have seen it coming if they cared, but they didn’t care because Corbyn posed a bigger threat with some actual socialist policies that were gaining popularity the more people heard about them. We couldn’t have that, could we!
Labour smears Corbyn with bullshit antisemitism accusations, while continuing to arm Netanyahu and profiting from the genocide. A Palestinian genocide we’re not allowed to express support for a certain genocide-opposing nonviolent direct Action movement, without getting arrested?
Now there’s nonviolent political prisoners, held on remand with no trials yet, some seriously ill on hunger strike. All because Labour have no principles.
The whole lot is laid bare here in fascist Britannia. The Labour party is bought and paid for by the arms industry and the Israel lobby. Starmer is a loathed lame-duck PM and should go ASAP to limit the damage, but he won’t. He’s a hanger-on, an egotist with a messiah complex, much like Blair was. It’s already too late and in any case there’s nobody good to replace him, or anywhere to advance current Labour policies that doesn’t just play more into the narratives of the far right. The more Starmer plays on their terms, the more he and Labour lose. He’s lost authority and has no control of the narrative.
The Tories are in disarray too and are trying to play the “brown people who are clamping down on immigration” fool move, also directly playing on the far right’s terms and losing. Bad-enoch is also utterly uncharismatic, but in far more of a problem for potential Tory voters, she’s black and a woman! A tokenistic bit of lip-service to trying to be a modern political party - it won’t wash with Tory voters, they will smile and secretly vote to stab Bad-enoch in the back when she’s no longer useful to them.
If bloody Fartrage gets in though, it’s firmly at the feet of Starmer, who couldn’t be harder to vote for if he tried.
Because he’s so crap, and implementing fascist policies, he will be directly responsible for ushering in ReBørk votes, since he hasn’t really made the case for anything different.
What a fucking waste of space and very real fascist threat Starmer is!
