3-4 more hurricanes gonna hit back to back. Giant toxic chemical clouds in Georgia. A protracted labor battle at the ports.
And now an existential war of ideologies in the middle east
MFW we’re literal communists and we probably care more about the well-being of this country than its so-called ‘patriots’.
mr xi, my country yearns for reverse-cloud-seeding, please send your gay-frog-chemical equipped chengdu j-20
what’s that about the prolapsed labor battles?
Yea we heard about the strike just not about the part where their buttholes were dropping out.
I can only find info on hurricane ivan, and that’s not supposed to hit the us. What are the other ones?
Best resource outside of local (weather) news would be https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/?atlc. I relied on them, Tropical Tidbits, and checking local when a local hit was likely when I lived in Florida.
Looks like I see 3 cells, 1 named, 1 likely, 1 possible.

doesn’t look thaaaat bad to me but it could get worse
Possibly from a source similar to this? Not sure. I just skimmed for this.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/weather/2024/10/01/tropical-storm-kirk-tracker-nhc/75463776007/Jesus Christ there’s a giant centipede in the middle of the Atlantic no wonder folks are freaking out
I’ll bet they don’t get anything worse than Helene this season but this strike is pretty unbelievable
3-4 more hurricanes
Where’s that from?
clickbait bullshit
there are several named storms in the Atlantic rn (Ivan, Joyce, & Kirk), none of which are expected to hit the continental US
there’s a depression forming in the gulf that won’t be a hurricane but could dump an unfortunate amount of rain on all the areas hit by Helene
there’s another depression forming off the eastern coast of Africa that is likely to turn into Tropical Storm Leslie, but it’s gonna take a few days to a week to see if that happens and how she decides to move across the ocean
Usually the ocean
“Israelis” will dance in New Jersey again.
you better not be talking abt what I think ur talking abt wtf
The whole world is collapsing but yes if you have Anti-USian Tumescence Syndrome yeah so happens that the US is on that same world.
The term “October Surprise” comes from an event during the Regan administration in October of a Presidential election year.
Today is October 1st, during a Presidential election.
It is, by definition, US-centric. It wouldn’t make sense to call events around the world October surprises.
At the same time, “Israel” has launched a ground invasion – fully backed by the top two candidates for President, hundreds of people are dead with thousands stranded after a hurricane during hurricane season that has Katrina-levels of incompetence, and a major labor action threatens to disrupt the churn of consumption in the capital of capitalism.
Not really Anti-USian whatever the fuck you said.
A Marxist understanding of capitalism leads to anti-imperialism. Anti-imperialism is understood by detractors as a simple rhetorical dressing over simplistic heuristics like “reflexive anti-americanism,” “history repeats itself,” and “the military-industrial complex needs contracts,” but all of these are reductive. Marxists understand that human political leadership in the imperial periphery, whether enlightened or tyrannical, will only be antagonized by empire for one single possible reason: it is getting in the way of market penetration. This is phrased succinctly by Kevin Dooley when criticizing Noam Chomsky’s support for a military alliance between the Kurds and the USA in Syria: “The difference between [Chomsky’s] position and a hard-line anti-imperialist position isn’t tactical. What he’s arguing is simply a violation of anti-imperialist principles based on a fundamentally different understanding of what can drive the empire to act in the world.” [16]
The accusation that anti-imperialists are unconcerned with human rights deserves a sharp rebuke. The USA was born of slavery and genocide, dropped atomic bombs as a matter of political brinkmanship, imported Nazi scientists and installed war criminals like Klaus Barbie and Nobusuke Kishi around the world to defend and advance anti-communist positions [17], and enthusiastically supports gruesome butcherers today. Simply put, Capital has destroyed innumerable countries and murdered hundreds of millions directly and indirectly. It is precisely a concern for the rights of humans that should make one immediately skeptical of any humanitarian posturing by Capital. Anti-imperialism not only means support for the important pro-social projects of states like Cuba, Vietnam, and China; it also means critical support for non-socialist states such as Iran and Russia. Critical support acknowledges that, though instituting various indefensible policies, enemies of empire are not being antagonized because of said policies. The only thing that can drive empire to act in the world is capital accumulation.
the only one of those 3 things that applies to the whole world is climate change, and even in that case, more functional countries will respond to it and prepare for its consequences in more meaningful ways than the US is.
Can you describe the symptoms of Anti-USian Tumescence Syndrome for me? Need to see if I missed any.
Nah it’s just Tuesday
I don’t think any of this will be enough to collapse America unfortunately. Nothing ever happens
Our position as the international hegemon is definitely in decline, but yeah outright collapse doesn’t seem likely.
Look at Britain; just a century ago they were in the position we are in now. They’re no longer at the head of global empire, but all their political structures and institutions still exist today prettymuch unchanged.
I think Britain was propped up by the US and the rest of the EU. They severed their connection to the EU which has already massively backfired, and the US won’t bail out the UK anymore if the US is also collapsing
it’s gonna be like letting air out of leaky pool float
the pool is filled with blood
“America Collapsing” is what I hope for every month.
American, with vested material interest in the status quo.
It can’t fucking happen fast enough for me to be happy.
“You can’t vote me out if you can’t vote, Jack!”
