but for now, it’s funny to consider the US doing IMF-style restructuring to itself for… no other reason than we’ve hit the point where enough of us actually believe that’s what you’re supposed to do for the “GOOD” economy. We’re not even getting a loan out of it, lol

“the US doing IMF-style restructuring to itself” is a great take tbh, will steal this and post it to some libs. It really is what this is.

I’m giving the Musk-Ramaswamy relationship a year before the interpersonal conflict explodes. A year’s worth of, uh, Italian Economic Restructuring will make things very unpopular for politicians.

Imaging making the doge meme

You find a funny dog picture and put some shit over it in comic sans and post it on the internet

Some people get its sheer stupidity, smile, move on

Some people like it and stick with it for a little bit bcos the dog is cute. Its silly, whatever.

But elon musk saw it first time, keeled over, laughing, lungs hurting. And then made it his online brand. He thinks its so cool and so funny. And the rest of us gaslight are ourselves to be like yeah bros quirky or are just in complete disbelief that this guy is rich and has power over your life

And then imagine being the guy who made the meme in the first place again

worse, imagine being a trans woman who repopularizes the meme through an ironic shitposting subreddit and then watching it grow beyond your influence until it hits the fucking white house.

no other reason

Theres a perfectly good reason. Capital can no longer sustain itself within the imperial core and its energetically unfavorable to remain. The ergovore must catabolize its old body to grow new demon-wings.
