I remember telling my coworkers in one of my college jobs that capitalism is unsustainable because "infinite economic growth on a finite planet is OBVIOUSLY unsustainable" and everyone just looked at me like i had two heads.
i was only 20 at the time. Glad it's more obvious now
Capitalism has no pause button. Every forest is timber, every fish is stock, every breath of air a dumping ground. Infinite growth on a finite planet isn’t just unsustainable, it’s ecocidal design. Collapse isn’t the warning, it’s the business plan.
anyone who bleats nonsense like "this is like North Korea" as the default thought terminating cliché to describe something bad happening in the US, is showing you their racism and media illiteracy, and they're not a competent critic of western media
I simply avoided commenting since I didnt know much about it. It's a waste of time to speculate and label things "color revolution" without a good understanding of the situation
To my knowledge, Epstein was first arrested in 2006 & pleaded guilty in 2008. Chomsky should have cut him off after that, but Chomsky moved to University of Arizona in 2017 and Epstein was caught again in 2019, so it's possible this was written before he was caught a second time
like others have commented, i definitely don't believe he believed everything he was saying. he was similar to Myron Gaines in posting rage bait

this coping doesn't even help the US because this belief that China is "behind" doesn't create the sense of urgency that the US needs to do more to for its own industries, but hey, racist cope is cheaper than building productive infrastructure
