Who had “America Collapsing” as the October surprise?
Who had “America Collapsing” as the October surprise?
3-4 more hurricanes gonna hit back to back. Giant toxic chemical clouds in Georgia. A protracted labor battle at the ports.
I don't think any of this will be enough to collapse America unfortunately. Nothing ever happens
it's gonna be like letting air out of leaky pool float
the pool is filled with blood
Our position as the international hegemon is definitely in decline, but yeah outright collapse doesn't seem likely.
Look at Britain; just a century ago they were in the position we are in now. They're no longer at the head of global empire, but all their political structures and institutions still exist today prettymuch unchanged.
"America Collapsing" is what I hope for every month.
American, with vested material interest in the status quo.
It can't fucking happen fast enough for me to be happy.
MFW we’re literal communists and we probably care more about the well-being of this country than its so-called ‘patriots’.
Bernie was the compromise. No more half measures. The world is ending and only we can stop it.
The wine cave liberals really, really enjoy death and suffering, especially if they can watch it on their screens. It is like their Prestige TV treats, but authentic. Authenticity is very valuable to the bored idle rich.
🍷 clink 🍷 
Probably? That's a guarantee
mr xi, my country yearns for reverse-cloud-seeding, please send your gay-frog-chemical equipped chengdu j-20
Nah it's just Tuesday
Also Israel bout to get its shit kicked in and maybe start wwIII
bro wake up an even bigger october surprise just dropped
I can only find info on hurricane ivan, and that’s not supposed to hit the us. What are the other ones?
Possibly from a source similar to this? Not sure. I just skimmed for this.

doesn't look thaaaat bad to me but it could get worse
Best resource outside of local (weather) news would be https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/?atlc. I relied on them, Tropical Tidbits, and checking local when a local hit was likely when I lived in Florida.
Looks like I see 3 cells, 1 named, 1 likely, 1 possible.
"You can't vote me out if you can't vote, Jack!"
What if we just ended America here, before the election? It could happen.
This is what happens when you refuse to
what's that about the prolapsed labor battles?
Yea we heard about the strike just not about the part where their buttholes were dropping out.
thank you
And now an existential war of ideologies in the middle east
3-4 more hurricanes
Where’s that from?
Usually the ocean
clickbait bullshit
there are several named storms in the Atlantic rn (Ivan, Joyce, & Kirk), none of which are expected to hit the continental US
there's a depression forming in the gulf that won't be a hurricane but could dump an unfortunate amount of rain on all the areas hit by Helene
there's another depression forming off the eastern coast of Africa that is likely to turn into Tropical Storm Leslie, but it's gonna take a few days to a week to see if that happens and how she decides to move across the ocean
there are several named storms in the Atlantic rn (Ivan, Joyce, & Kirk), none of which are expected to hit the continental US
Mother Nature be like “bet”
“Israelis” will dance in New Jersey again.
I'm not really invested in this but the specific claim made here doesn't seem to be factually inaccurate? I have no doubt Nazis take it out of context and make it sound like every single Jew in New Jersey was out in the streets dancing up a storm after 9/11, but this specific occurrence did happen, so...
I’m definitely not trying to make a Nazi claim. I do think the US wants to get involved in a regional war and I think a terrorist attack is the only thing that could galvanize any support for war at this time.
We know that the Resistance is not targeting civilians or trying to press its luck or provoke the US into responding. We do know of an entity that is adept at targeting civilians and will do pretty much anything to get what it wants.
lmao this isn't a "Nazi conspiracy theory". The dancing Israelis were real.
Collapse faster
I’ll bet they don’t get anything worse than Helene this season but this strike is pretty unbelievable
The whole world is collapsing but yes if you have Anti-USian Tumescence Syndrome yeah so happens that the US is on that same world.
A Marxist understanding of capitalism leads to anti-imperialism. Anti-imperialism is understood by detractors as a simple rhetorical dressing over simplistic heuristics like “reflexive anti-americanism,” “history repeats itself,” and “the military-industrial complex needs contracts,” but all of these are reductive. Marxists understand that human political leadership in the imperial periphery, whether enlightened or tyrannical, will only be antagonized by empire for one single possible reason: it is getting in the way of market penetration. This is phrased succinctly by Kevin Dooley when criticizing Noam Chomsky’s support for a military alliance between the Kurds and the USA in Syria: “The difference between [Chomsky’s] position and a hard-line anti-imperialist position isn’t tactical. What he’s arguing is simply a violation of anti-imperialist principles based on a fundamentally different understanding of what can drive the empire to act in the world.” [16]
The accusation that anti-imperialists are unconcerned with human rights deserves a sharp rebuke. The USA was born of slavery and genocide, dropped atomic bombs as a matter of political brinkmanship, imported Nazi scientists and installed war criminals like Klaus Barbie and Nobusuke Kishi around the world to defend and advance anti-communist positions [17], and enthusiastically supports gruesome butcherers today. Simply put, Capital has destroyed innumerable countries and murdered hundreds of millions directly and indirectly. It is precisely a concern for the rights of humans that should make one immediately skeptical of any humanitarian posturing by Capital. Anti-imperialism not only means support for the important pro-social projects of states like Cuba, Vietnam, and China; it also means critical support for non-socialist states such as Iran and Russia. Critical support acknowledges that, though instituting various indefensible policies, enemies of empire are not being antagonized because of said policies. The only thing that can drive empire to act in the world is capital accumulation.
The term “October Surprise” comes from an event during the Regan administration in October of a Presidential election year.
Today is October 1st, during a Presidential election.
It is, by definition, US-centric. It wouldn’t make sense to call events around the world October surprises.
At the same time, “Israel” has launched a ground invasion – fully backed by the top two candidates for President, hundreds of people are dead with thousands stranded after a hurricane during hurricane season that has Katrina-levels of incompetence, and a major labor action threatens to disrupt the churn of consumption in the capital of capitalism.
Not really Anti-USian whatever the fuck you said.
the only one of those 3 things that applies to the whole world is climate change, and even in that case, more functional countries will respond to it and prepare for its consequences in more meaningful ways than the US is.
Can you describe the symptoms of Anti-USian Tumescence Syndrome for me? Need to see if I missed any.
Lmao if they plan on making that a thing. Just stick with tankie if you’re going to throw around snarl words
Sometimes it's not so much "anti-US", but anti-regimes that tend to drone strike hospitals...and then follow it up with a double-tap when rescue teams arrive. (I wasn't going to hyphenate all that.)
Is tankie not enough letters for you to feel smugly superior?
This one time I freaked out because I shat and pissed blood, but then I realised I had just eaten rhubarb
you better not be talking abt what I think ur talking abt wtf
