I mean, the "doomsday clock" is not some sort of objective measurement of anything, isn't it mostly just based on the vibes of what I can only assume are a bunch of western liberals and their associated biases?
I don't see why we as communists should pay it any attention at all tbh
I could tell America was fucking declining when I wrote a hitler speech at a fancy schmansy high school and people thought it was good. I was just so bored with the insane pointless workload…..Like the whole education system was built to grind you down for some reason.
I came to realise a difference between myself and the rest of the people staffing the racket – the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) workers, the economists in the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and so on. […] While I was coming to understand how the racket really worked, I started to see them as willing dupes.
The president of a miscellaneous Global South nation was walking along the beach with Xi Jinping.
"Xi," said the President, sometimes it feels like you're there for us, but sometimes it feels like you've abandoned us.
Xi bade the President to look back along the two sets of tracks they had made on the beach.
"My like-minded good friend," said Xi Jinping, "the Chinese people have been walking hand-in-hand with you ever since we stood up in 1949."
"But Xi," said the President again, "sometimes one pair of footsteps veers away."
"Those are the times you turned to the Americans." Xi pointed to where the straying footsteps came to an abrupt stop at an ice cream truck. "But we have always been here to resume walking together once your people grew weary of being fed junk food."
Probably. I haven't clicked on that link but that sort of thing is to be expected from this source.
When i recommend a piece i generally vet it for that sort of stuff, and if there is any problematic content i try and add a warning. But i don't vouch for other things the same author may have written.
We should always be aware of the bias of the media we consume, and when reading analysis by conservative leaning authors like this one, caution is advised. That's part and parcel of critical media consumption, knowing what we can take that is of value from a piece of media and what to discard.
