It's a prisoner's dilemma. Of fucking course we should revolt and save the world. Organizing that is not easy, especially when it makes you a target.
And this is the heart of our predicament - the ones in control understand this. If they keep our misery at a low simmer they get to extract everything from us, slowly, we won't revolt. I worry that our only hope may be that they miscalculate and the pot boils over. I really don't want that, but I'm having a harder and harder time imagining real improvements anymore.
It's the people who think making money is good and moral, even when you have to screw others over to get it, who are the problem.
Completely agree.
Homelessness is up 20% over the last 2 years. The pot is already boiling over, I'm not sure what more you think most people have left to lose.
I guess we'll see won't we? I predict we've got a bit further to go before enough people are miserable enough. It's a numbers game and I don't think we're there yet.
President musk might push it over I reckon. This whole visa debacle is a big fuck you. I don't think it will be his last overreach
