To my endless frustration leftwing thought and policy is popular until someone knows it’s left wing.

I spend so much time talking to people and skirting around terminology/avoiding describing things in clear terms because they set off alarm bells.

As you say everyone gets that we’re screwed and pitted against each other while dipshits up top have their snouts in the trough. There is a spectrum on how far we ought to go to address this but it’s also really hard to get any action out of people because they’ll nod along until you try point them at a union or something and then the propaganda kicks in.

Praise the laird.

I’m so sick of stupid infighting while we’re so far from power.

It’s interesting to live through the death of a modern empire. Given how much access there is to history it really surprises me that no lesson is learned and no graceful transition is opted for.

Instead they follow the same route as all the empires of old, increasing violence and desperation practically guaranteeing hatred and reprisal when they are crippled and broken.

Of course all the elite will be dead by then so I suppose material analysis wins again as the correct lens to analyse history through.
