Capitalist realism, the belief that capitalism is the only system humanity is capable of functioning within for the foreseeable future, follows a circular reasoning. Because the people are conditioned to believe there’s no alternative to capitalism, they don’t take action to end capitalism.

The system is preaching despair and hopelessness, trying to convince us that there’s no other way the world can work. We must expose this idea as the lie that it is.

@yogthos I do see intense civil violence possible, but I do not see the "two armies" civil war scenario. This is because there is no contiguous geographic regionalism to this division. In fact, what I see probable actually would be more disorganized, and much more widespread violent, instead of a "formal" civil war. I think instead something a bit closer to an insurrection or Somalia-like civil collapse.

US rentier class has sought to make America’s neoliberal privatization and financialization irreversible.

It has succeeded to such a degree that there is no party or economic constituency promoting any alternative. US is now facing austerity and a debt-burdened depression.
