*Reaganism
Trumanism/Wilsonism?
The imperialism had a lot to do with those two.
I would say the corporate greed side is only true for Wilson, but I realize it echoes all the way back. Reagan is just the end of that chain: Trump -> Bush -> (Clinton) -> Other Bush -> Reagan. It’s all the same slide into extreme military and corporate partnerships.
Gas prices are political catnip to Boomers.

Well shit, I’m glad I’m not on Twaddle and will skip that particular lineup for the wall. And Nina, your movement will replace the price system how now? And won’t accept any non-political reforms that aren’t incompetent garbage from 1947 Soviet idiocy (with the only opposition allowed being US capitalist fascism?).
I get (part of at best) where Nina is coming from but there’s a limit to the team sports ferment I can handle before I can see that I’ll never be part of any of the favored teams that get the medals (and not fucked off in the fighting) at the end. It makes it hard to commit in a concrete way.
I don’t worry about lack of medals or dying in the fighting. What I worry about is that it will be done without understanding that the struggle is not political, the struggle is a matter of fighting criminals who purchased themselves the umbrella of law.
for sure
