Reminds me that the whole concept of generations is something manufactured of whole cloth and meant to divide us, but more than that, that real people are compassionate and understanding. All that stuff is just fake.

It gives me hope for unity.

    We do have recourse, we just aren’t organized and don’t seem to really be that motivated to do anything about it. And a huge number are regularly falling for a massive propaganda machine.

      I guess it’s a prisoner’s dilemma. If you’re the first to walk away from your job to protest you’re fucked.

        Living in a very economically depressed and propagandized region of the U.S. I really feel this. Have often said, the big problem is that so few people have your back here should you wish to protest in any meaningful way. Ironically, it is a place that once fought hard and bloody battles for labor. If you bring this up, they reckon it is totally unrelated to our present crises.
