If you think the worst depression in American history and a meaningful population die off from incompetence and bungling of a pandemic isn’t enough to shake up the status quo in America you’re on a level of nihilism I can’t comprehend.

it absolutely is enough to shake up the status quo, the problem is that the people who enforce the status quo are working extremely hard to stop a systemic change from getting started and right now they're winning

lmao we aren’t getting anywhere near 2 million imo, it’ll be multiple spin outs as it explodes and contracts. It doesn’t spread uniformly so the easy vectors will be immunized ‘naturally’.

Not sure, I assumed from the wording it was an addition, but I may be wrong.

We've had a major mall shooting and a police brutality killing of a minority. The country's gone back to its normalcy already. No lessons have been learned, and it took less time than the thread ever expected

It’s macabre but just physically dealing with 3 million corpses is such a big task that you can’t keep it out of sight, never mind the emotional side of things.

This is only possible to believe because of the alienation of the average person from the scale of industrial society, 3 million corpses is one large ship. The average citizen thinks ships don't exist anymore except the Navy and everything travels by plane.

unfortunately most of us are at the mercy of some idiot sitting behind a desk and getting paid to force us back to work, i had to return to the office last week despite have literally no barriers to working from home and i had to go just because the owner of the company thinks it's both a giant hoax and a chinese bioweapon

Yeah something like 70% of people here in the US live paycheck to paycheck, but even then you can still wear a mask and refrain from social gatherings.

Things are (realistically) going to get much worse though, and I doubt the last die-for-the-DOW threads of the status quo will last much longer.

My work area has two confirmed cases with another one presumed. The entire plant has a couple dozen combined at the very least with 2 fatalities. At least I can take some solace that my particular crew is taking this seriously and all wear masks and gloves. Unfortunately the job involves moving around to different tasks and not everyone does.

Material conditions drive change, so yes, this actually has a good chance to enact real change.

A large number of people can quietly accept bombing a bunch of brown people in a far off country, having tens of thousands of people die every year from lack of health insurance, or even systemic racism and police brutality, because it doesn't affect them.

Once the status quo breaks down and poo poo actually starts to affect them, they'll start to realize things are hosed, and push for change.

People will gravitate towards socialism or towards fascism, and that's when we have to be there, waiting for them. The far right knows this, and will be there too.

Our beacon has to burn brighter.

Hmm...I want to see the math. I'm very skeptical you could fit 3 million bodies on even a modern container ship.
