Genuinely curious. I keep thinking “it can’t get much worse without some kind of mass uprising” but the ability of the general population of Western states to just soak up suffering seems endless. Do you think we will actually see mass movements in the next decade or two? Or just slowly lurch into a void of ever-shittier liberalism?

By the West I mean like. Western Europe and the Anglosphere I guess.

    If the West totally collapses on itself, then there’s a chance.

    But it’s then more likely for the Right to successfully consolidate power. There might be space for someone like China to influence the post-West to the Left, though, but it’d be a difficult and extremely slow process given all the racism—not to mention fascist elements and history.
