That’s true, a wounded animal lashes out. But these death throes, as dramatic as they are, are still so much less deadly than business as usual. It’s like the last set of nazis: putting them down did require incredible violence, but nowhere near as much violence as they would have visited on the world otherwise.
I worry about it too, how to help people and how to prepare. I hope that the American state’s terminal belligerence can force enough of the rest of the world into cooperation against it to create the kind of framework we need to deal with the worst of climate collapse and maybe nurse our planet to better health. But yeah, with the bottomless depravity we know the empire is capable of, you’d be crazy not to be worried. It can be paralyzing when you try to take in the scale of the threat, and in these times I find refuge in trying to build with what few real life comrades I have.
I have those hopes and fears too. I also hope that the rest of the world can contain and mitigate our damage, but I also don’t think anyone is coming to save us. It’s going to be up to us to save ourselves.
I am optimistic that we can do that, even though it will be painful

Absolutely. I still want to see America go down, but it will have negative external consequences.
