That meme is outdated. The people behind those bots have moved into USA a long time ago already. All they do is glaze over Trump nowadays. Civil war or not, you do you, but don't blame us for your choice of pedophile for president.

Honestly was just thinking about that earlier, how massively disappointing it must be for accelerationists and our enemies to throw so much time and energy at getting the left to start shit and we just don't because very few of us are that dumb.

That said, it always pays off around election time when the left splinters and some radical self destructive buffoon gets empowered instead.

I find it hard to believe they really want it that much. Keeping Trump where he is will slowly do all the damage they need. On a global scale support for the U.S. is degrading, and things like Chinas currency being used for global trade is accelerating. At the rate things are going it is likely best for China to just let things take their current course. The wealth divide growing in the U.S. is going to do a lot of damage in the next 15 years. The conservative choices are just accelerating our downfall or complete need to move to a Universal base income and spread of wealth, if not a complete flop to a socialistic society. (Which will have a lot of backlash and possibly the civil war).

If another country really thought just one leftist would start a civil war and destroy the U.S., they would just blackmail or pay someone off to do it.

China, at least lately, haven't been ones to just sit by and wait patiently. They've been actively and aggressively promoting the decline, even backing Trump during the election especially with their TikTok psyop.

If you're not familiar with where this image came from, here's the White Ninja archive. One of the most insanely great webcomics ever.

I have been thinking US probably requires a hard reset. But then I realised, this will only benefit Russia and China. Well, more for China. Russia's expensive war in Ukraine won't make the country last long in the future. No one worth their salt could replace Putin. If US breaks up or goes on civil war, China will be the ultimate winner.

It would (probably? I wanna say certainly) benefit the rest of the world too, Western Europe included (to the dissatisfaction of our current American bought, obscenely corrupt and greedy leaders, ofc).

You mark my words: Russia is one thing, but the very second the US is suitably distracted with internal affairs and can be counted on to be unable to respond, Taiwan gets invaded over night. And that shit will spiral out of control very quickly, because China won't stop there, and nobody else wants to have to learn Mandarin in the mandatory reeducation camp (or at all). Oh, I do beg your pardon, I meant to say "Harmonization Retreat". In Mandarin, obviously. Wouldn't want to compromise my social credit score.

Why? They want Taiwan for its leverage in the silicon industry and for reinforced access to the Pacific Ocean. They really don't have any other military targets on their radar, unlike the USA which spent the last 70 years basically pissing all over the world even after the USSR fell. If you want proof, look at Pakistan. They threw billions of dollars at it, yet its a 100% shill platform for the US. They don't really care about controlling it so long as they are getting paid and Pakistan continues to buffer India.

US is suitably distracted with internal affairs and can be counted on to be unable to respond

You seriously overestimate the US being "distracted" by internal affairs. I even doubt they'd recall forces around Taiwan during a hypothetical civil war. If anything, they'd see the insane value of ending a civil war by baiting China to attack.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Why? Because CCP and dictator Xi literally said they would countless times. Taiwan is an emberassment for CCP and the authoritarians can't have that. The only reason China didn't invade Taiwan as of yet is because they couldn't and as soon as they can they will, that's literally the official stance.

Exactly this is what’s happening.

Too many are eating it up.

I don't think it's simply Russia and China though... I think it's just global wealthy business people, along with criminals. Basically the overlap of those two types of people.

Nations are used by the wealthy like the fed use the Mafia and the Mafia uses the street gangs and the street gangs use the simps and homeless. It's all the same evil from the bottom to the top. The same dark part of human nature. This element of human nature resides in all tiers of the human social caste system.

russia makes up the lionshare of propaganda of the world, they have many propaganda troll farms all over to push a divisive narrative. china doesnt have that much of an influence compared to russia. most conspiracies you can trace back to russia eventually if you look deep enough.

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 day ago

It’s Russia and China, and there are people who benefit from the rhetoric within who amplify it as well.

This is well documented.
