  • Not really. It’s an alliance of rising imperial forces against the Americans dollar with the goal of creating a multipolar world, but I wouldn’t say that’s inherently more stable than one very powerful empire dominating everything. If anything, the neoliberalism mandated by global capitalism America championed is why the world became so unstable.

    The extreme inequality causes artificial scarcity which drives people towards extreme nationalist ideologies. The increased nationalism that makes countries like China, Russia, and India more dangerous is thanks to that global economic system which encourages the worst in humanity. Local efforts at controlling capital are inherently undermined by it, as economic incentives demand fewer protections to compete with the rest of the world.

    BRICS isn’t responsible for that, and if anything the deepening of economic ties between these empires will encourage them to seek peace with each other. As America becomes less and less relevant, the old tensions between those countries might cause it to collapse, but that won’t be the fault of it. Rather than it increasing or decreasing stability, it’s just a symptom of change rather than a driving force.



















  • I’m convinced at this point that you so called nihilistic ragebaiters are just fascists 99% of the time. Taking joy from acting like an absolute piece of shit is typical behavior for people who only ever care about winning. You set yourself up in a position where you can’t possibly lose because you’re a weakling. It doesn’t matter that you never actually get anywhere in life when you’re high cruelty.
