I told a liberal the other day that I hope she will be blessed with the same healthcare that Biden/Harris have given Palestinian women. I don't think she appreciated that lol

Revolutionary Dinner Party Podcasters, lets get back to brunch!
Hello newsmega heads, I have a question. Has the USA declined in absolute power since the 90s, or just in relative power? Is it's ability to wage war, maintain alliance and influence other countries less than what it used to be, or does it just face more resistance?
I think it's both, but I want to highlight the "more resistance" piece in terms of weaponry. In the 90s rockets and missiles were only owned by very large state actors, and were very expensive. In 2024 you can use drones, relatively advanced drones, and very advanced ballistic missiles for quite cheap. Even non-state actors like Hezbollah have access to a large suite of weaponry that can't really be defended against if used en masse. The nature of warfare itself has changed, and the United States' old "package" of air superiority doesn't mean much these days when it's easy to fire off a pretty advanced rocket and then disappear. That's why they're having such trouble in Yemen, the non-state actors got a lot better and the US has remained the same.
Just go back from the assembly we held at our university, and we resolved: The building will be occupied by the students and the authorities will be displaced*, effective now the premises are under student control for an indefinite period of time. Classes will resume as normal (most will be held in the street). We also declared a state of permanent assembly.
*I'll dig more into this. We voted on displacing them, however, I think some will remain in their posts to fulfill their duties. What I think happens is that their authority is shared with the students, meaning that we kinda abolished hierarchies lmao.
Meanwhile, more and more universities are being occupied by students, althrough such occupations differ from one another. I think the number is well above 50 institutions around the country, more will be joining us as the movement gets bigger.
A few days ago, milei announced that occupations are illegal and thus efforts must be directed to evict those who participate in the occupations.
So, anybody knows how to deal with riot police? Honestly I don't know what to expect, in one hand we're protected by the right of protest and there's also the fact that neither police or federal forces are allowed to intervene in universities (they can't even step inside), on the other, it's milei we're talking about, not that he gives a shit about all this. I do expect shady people to come and go from the building to collect intelligence for the cops, this has happened before.
What keeps me worried are possible sporadic attacks by pro-milei people. Today, during the assembly to decide on the occupation of the University of Quilmes, a group of libertarians tried to crash it by using tear gas on students. They were promptly kicked off the establishment and the university was occupied regardless. This hasn't happened in previous times when universities were occupied because the conext was different, but now, fascists and libertarians (they are the same thing) are completely empowered by the state. Gotta keep watch I guess.
death to "israel" btw
