  • US legislative authorities and US society cannot be trusted.

    It’s like dealing with criminals. Not all of US society of course, but support for criminality is not limited to the far right, a significant portion of US nihilists and centre right also support corruption and believe crime is good.

    And before you accuse me of being uncharitable, consider the following:

    Mark Zuckerburg and Meta were found to promote fraud and criminality on their platform to net $16 B for them in 2024 alone. Note that Meta’s own PR goons didn’t really deny this.

    Will the majority of US centre right voters put pressure on their party to address this criminality (arrests, full asset seizure, winding down of criminal organizations)?

    Or will they continue to enable such behaviour?

    We all know what the answer is. :)






  • When nations trade oil, food or technology, they settle in dollars — not because they have to, but because they believe in the stability, transparency and independence of the American system.

    I would argue this isn’t really true any more. It’s more inertia and practical considerations, the trust trust and belief in stability and independence is already gone, very likely permanently.

    Even if say the centre-right wins both legislative and executive elections, there is no reason to trust such an administratoration as any agreements will be overturned following the next election.

    It seems that American society more broadly has embraced corruption and “bread crircus” (or should I say Big Mac and iPhone) type politics.


  • Click the “Anti-Imperialism” section.

    Note the “US-NATO Conflict with Russia over Ukraine” subheading and the type of “articles” that are posted there.

    One example:

    Eighty years after the unprecedented crimes of the Wehrmacht and Hitlerite fascism, the ruling class is once again pursuing a massive rearmament program that breaks with all post-war restrictions and is systematically preparing Germany for a third world war—with Russia as its main target.

    Note how there is zero real criticism of russia or China.

    WSWS is a tankie / red fash shithole.
