i don't think anyone is afraid of their capitalist oppressors per se. i think everyone is afraid of losing what they have, such as it is.
yeah this is why i had difficulty phrasing that. but i do think there is some fear of it being taken away rather than losing it. same reason people don't unionize even in situations where they have the leverage necessary to do so.

Do global war fetishists get that they live on the globe too, and will almost certainly perish if it goes nuclear?

it's like living in perpetual fear of the mafia smashing up your storefront if you don't pay them protection money, but you never really question the mafia's right to do so. and besides, you wouldn't have to pay them so much if the (((GOVERNMENT))) would just stop harassing them.

Real talk, I don't think we're going to get nuked under Trump, life will just get shittier for non-whites, women and the poor, plus the US will lose a lot of its economic standing. But if it came down to it, would it be better to drink yourself stupid and die with dignity if you knew a bomb was on the way? Or try to get out and make sure society rebuilds itself without assholes at the helm this time around?

capital doesn't need so much labor any more, so jobs aren't coming back. it's foolish to retreat to 1950's/60's middle class fantasies. it was stifling and lovely and excluded many, and people revolted from it.

minimum basic income freeing people from needing employment to survive is the only way the system is going to possible be sustainable, it will collapse in on itself otherwise from a decaying consumer base

of course since capital doesn't know what the gently caress it's doing being completely directionless, this will never happen unless forced to by rule

in this era of big data why couldn't we come up with a command economy able to actually track everything and direct resources to where they're needed?

this is also part of the problem. in order to be honest while promoting a real progressive economic agenda, you have to tell people that the times are changing quickly and that we ALL need to change with them. voters want "change" but they want the government to change, not themselves.

this is also why i don't fault incrementalism because it might, in fact, not be a bad idea to do it gradually.

that's sort of why I got behind Hillary as a positive candidate besides not just being trump. she had flaws but she would have been slow and steady forward in certain ways

though maybe people are right and we might never have learned our lesson, who knows. all I know is it I'd rather we learn the lesson about helping the poor and minorities without having to see both go through hell first

because it would be a big change and people are afraid and, sadly, top-down restructuring of institutions does not have a lot of success in history.

this is why, if i worked for him, i'd be telling him the ONLY thing he should be working to pass is the 500b/huge tax cuts plan because it would boost the economy until he finished his second term. maybe a little bit after. then some other things might happen but who cares

i honestly, perhaps niavely, think that people would take quick to a change that's less like "law and order and work" and more like "gently caress working for others profits, spend your day as you wish in relative comfort"

im still catching up but it seems like Trump got his wires crossed and is appointing the hawkish neocon globalists to the regular normie government instead of the shadow one like is supposed to happen.

The real question is, who is showing up to the underground secret lair Rothschild illuminati meetings that run everything? Mike Tyson? Omarosa? The ghost of Joe Paterno?
