      Jewish leaders trying to murder Palestinians out of land they claim is theirs as per usual, Russia’s dictator trying to annex Ukraine as per usual, China’s king bear enforcing population control and minority segregation as per usual, America’s monarch trying to assert dominance over the rest of the world with his well-renowned business economy tactics but failing as per usual, a few more spats in the Middle-East related to Israel being a terrible neighbour, India trying to annex land without admitting to it, America’s leaders and extremists aiming to usher in the new Reich with eugenics, death camps for non-whites, and controlled news, and the EU and China rising in power as they drop trades with America.

        A stunningly ignorant and antisemitic comment.

        Jewish leaders? I assume you mean Israel, which despite that entity’s propaganda, cannot be conflated with Judaism.

        Russia does not have a dictator. It is a capitalist oligarchy much like other counties, and they keep Putin as their face because he is good at what he does. With the support of the bourgeoisie and lsrge teams of bureaucrats and oligarchical functionaries, he can and will be replaced and there will be a full continuity of policy. Russia also has little historu of “trying to Annex Ukraine”. The area now known as Ukraine has been occupied by a number of nations (the territory was much smaller and constantly bullied by Poles and Lithuanians), but Ukrainian national identity, and its current borders, is something largely created within the last century at the behest of the USSR. Ukrainian national identity and independence was created by the inheritors of the Russian Empire, the Bolsheviks.

        China, like any state, engages in “population control”, but this highlighting it as such - including the telltale sign of a Redditor brain Winnie the Pooh reference that nobody else actually cares about - is ignorant chauvinist orientalism. China is also not engaging in minority segregation. Quite the opposite.

        The US, similarly, does not have a monarch. It is also run by the bourgeoisie, it is the global epicenter of the global haute bourgeoisie. Everything there happens with the consent and often prodding of that class and most political “change” is the result of fights between its members. The legislative branch could toss out, e.g., Trump, whenever it pleased, legally. Does it refuse to do so because Trump will send his knights to kill them? Because they hold land titles only at his pleasure? No, it is because they are all beholden to the same masters, the people who actually sign all of the checks, produce all of the media, and control production.

        The “spats” in the Middle East are a continued Western-backed genocidal bombing campaign on Yemen, the only country in the region outside of Iran doing anything in solidarity witg Palestine, and a Western-backed Daesh/HTS takeover of Syria that makes Assad look like a kitten. Also very friendly with Israel, antagonistic to ethnic minorities, and belligerent towards Hezbollah.

        India is trying to start a war. It already occupies Kashmir with massive troop levels. Taking land may be part of the plan, but their goal is really to weaken Pakistan and feed into Hindutvas via kneejerk nationalism.

        The US was already the old Reich, history just whitewashes it. The US was the Third Reich’s biggest political influence. The US is premised on genocide, chattel slavery, and shifting tides of racism and marginalization to scapegoat and exclude to serve capital. Terrorizing Latines has a long history, this is a revival. The US bourgeoisie creates a contradiction, which is that it creates an economic underclass of largely latine immigrant workers of precarious legal status in order to hyperexploit their labor but then scapegoats them when eveyone else inevitably hits an economic diwnturn. Marginalization has always been used for this dual purpose in the US. Eugenics has been here, it is just whitewashed with racialized poverty being treated as “normal”. Death camps and work camps have been here, slowly ramping up over decades. The current volume actually isn’t that high compared to the last decade. It has been this bad, they just don’t put the spotlight on it.
