“May a thousand 9/11s sprout from my grave”

Honestly, I have my politics, but I’m not enthusiastic to argue a lot for it

  • This, in the American community, is what we call “the gusano phenomenon”, from Indochina and China, to Afghanistan, to Cuba and Nicaragua

    It is the phenomenon of attracting historically anti-communist, yet generally pro-western, emigres into your land, who may or may not have been part of the former ruling class (eg. think small business, pro-west military collaborators, compradors) and thus have their individual, if not collective material interest in opposing their country’s new government, (which the U.S likely opposes)

    In addition, they make good foot soldiers and lobbying voices against any internal domestic progressive opposition

    This sort of politics is not an aberration, this is cold war migrant policy, worked over time (and believe it or not, the cold war did not end, it merely froze and defrosted)

    For examples, look at Falun Gong


  • Third parties already exist and you can see how viable they are. The FPTP spoiler effect isn’t going away any time soon.

    Well… if the issue of slavery was central to the development of the Republican Party, and the working class struggles of Europe led to the creation of Labour and SocDem Parties in Europe

    There is a slim chance, that by precedent, one breaking issue could widen up, as to create a new political party that swallows up and destroys one of the moribund parties, through its absorption of its former key constituencies

    (though it must take advantage of the power vacuum fully) (emphasis on the term ‘slim’, to refer to 1%)

    Heck, we could follow Canada, and have it so that America relies on multi-partisan coalitions, rather than Dems, Reps, or even both alone

    Then, again, Idk Americans, so mindlessly downvote me if ye want…

    Nothing in life is ever so permanent…
