It ruined the last few pieces left of old imageboard culture. Moot should have deleted halfchan altogether when he left.

10/10 run down on the Burgerland political system

Pretty apt analysis. Good stuff comrade.
I tend to wonder how the coming economic collapse is going to impact American politics. I suspect that it will continue to deepen the stratification along the socioeconomic/regional lines you've delineated, but a massive reduction in futures optimism hitting with a furthering of the financial crises that basically all Americans face may steer them in a direction more aligned to New Deal style politics.
That's the hope anyway - I guess. We'll probably just get fascism. A strong-man who promises to make everything okay again. We'll see (soon) in any case.
Alexander Baker
Thanks. Like I said I dunno.
There are factions within the Republicans as well, but the difference between them and the Democratic factions is that one Democratic faction (the Bernie-style left-wing nationalist faction) does want to reverse a victory for capital – even if they do not want to abolish capital as such. The establishment Republicans put on a big show about being opposed to Trump and so on, but this is mostly for show and there is much more room for them to cooperate with each other than on the Democratic side of the house, because the Republican factions are both pushing policies that are acceptable to the ruling class at the end of the day.

Yes the upcoming crash might lead to a fascist state. However if the left plays our cards right, we could sieze power. When the next stalk market crashes Burger Communist Parties need to be handing out pamphlets outside of closing workplaces.

Guess its time to arm the poor for revolutionary war. At that point most people literally have nothing else to lose, but their chains. So I could see more and more built up anger that has been bubbling for years blow up.

Doesn't mean anything. The President has no power, the civil service and judiciary are the de facto sovereign. Once Trump is gone, it will be as if he was never President within a year.
Anthony Jones
Trump’s influence is the destruction of US-Chinese trade relations will be felt for a while.
Charles Torres
The military would've forced such a change anyway, they are concerned about their factories being located in China in the event of… a war with China. The President can in general only do anything insofar as Congress (donors), the civil service, and the judiciary allow, and these groups tend to be on the same page with one another.
