    Right… It’s been on us, the regular people, for decades… And we don’t do shit. Most of us just buy the escapism they offer us to be distracted, as they continue to play the real game of life and build their empires.

    Simply blaming the right or left, or the billionaires etc doesn’t cut it… It’s deeply engrained in our culture from birth.

      if you are blaming “both sides” you are misunderstanding what either is about

        Vote progressives, socialists and trade unionists all the way. It’s always been this way, and the Capitalists just keep coming up with ways to make culture wars and smear campaigns and the middle class keeps thinking they’re just one big win away from being billionaires themselves… And they keep the system going just enough for it not to implode.

          Vote

          yeah, there it is. there is a reason one of the sides is saying voting doesn’t work, and you described it yourself.

          socialism is not an electoralist ideology, and the ones saying it is might be lying to you about being on the left. for those same reasons.

            There’s never ideal candidates, you only ever get to nudge… and even that should only be one part of altering society and culture.

        The entire system is a problem, and all people in it feed it to keep it alive. People fund and manifest the same shit they claim to hate but never want to take the blame.

        Americans are cattle owned by a business.

          the system is right-wing and politics exist outside it, and even with aim to stop it.
