I’ve listened to the Poor Proles Almanac and they’re basically left-unity (anarchist) preppers. Their information is probably useful either way, though. I just started listening to It Could Happen Here, and the first episode is pretty cringe. Robert Evans is anti-Assad and thinks a Syrian civil war type scenario could happen here. He praises maidan coup fascist protesters (without mentioning their fascism or US backing). And of course, he thinks a collapse could be soon in 2019 and a lot of crazy stuff has happened since, but no civil war. I’ll keep listening critically to see if he has anything decent to say, but not looking good. As the empire crumbles and climate change gets worse is a collapse scenario realistic?
Personally i think this collapse mentality quite dangerous, because it is paralyzing, like lets all relax that capitalism will fall by itself.
One thing that we must acknowledged about capitalism is that it is resilient as fuck, and when in crisis it will turn to fascism, and in the particular case of u.s, the elements of fascism, being chauvinist, reactionary and mass, is already part of it’s culture by itself, the american exceptionalism, the ideas of the destiny manifest, the founding fathers and etc.
My take is, turn openly fascist, we are already seeing this on florida with it’s bizarre anti-trans laws, squeeze it’s “allies” even more, cause conflicts throughout the world to revitalize it weapons based economy.
civil war, i don’t think so, perhaps some pockets of armed resistance from the persecuted.
