Why isn't everyone every day, all day long explaining that the reason why we're all being literally squeezed to death for every penny the oligarchs can steal from us is because they know this is likely their last gasp of total unfettered exploitation of the working class.  They might have a few years left, they might have ten, but their paranoia tells them they might have another 6 months to build up their own hermetically sealed McDuck money bin to swim in. They are making sure as mass civil unrest becomes unavoidable -- either because they've pushed 95% of us too far or because the acceleration of climate change and the ensuing extreme human rights inequality leave hundreds of millions of people homeless and in peril -- they are the authoritarians in charge.  They'll be forcing more and more of us into 60 hr work weeks, while just barely scraping by -- if we're lucky -- vulnerable to any tiny ripple of financial or health crisis, unforeseen or not, that will bring us to our knees. They want us begging to be loved by our work daddy so we might get a day off once every 6 months. They need us to think it's our idea to work 14 hour days, because we WANT to do that for them.  They want to make sure that they, the ultra wealthy, are safe from us and our majority rule, legally, financially, and physically.  And we're just letting them do it - at least here in the US. They're accelerating their debauchery and theft at an ever increasing rate because they're terrified by what they've created and they know the inevitable outcome because of it. It's a system so lopsided and absurd that it is only a matter of time before enough people figure out that the hate culture machine and shiny new things are just to keep them a complacent cheerleader for their rebranding of old school Christian Nationalism and otherisms. They think they're entitled to the exploitation of every adult and child, those who willingly go along for the ride, but especially those who don't. Those whom they genuinely wish they had the balls (faith?) to eat, but they must hold on to at least one thing they just won't do.  Which seems odd in light of their ever predictable projection onto the left as baby eaters and pedophiles, as they bury all of their backup drives in their wife's best tupperware in a hole in the backyard for fear of being exposed any moment via the victims they've left in their personal and professional lives. As a relevant aside, a progressive target should be to abolish NDAs and make all agreements that don't include copyright/proprietary property illegal and all voided. In the meantime it should be made clear and known that they are not legally binding when it comes to illegal activity. More and more people are being forced to sign them in order to land any kind of shitty job, and I don't know that people know this.

They've normalized crazy, but only for them, those on the left have to behave and act with stupid fucking decorum, in part because the old guard liberals also abide by the same stupid shit. They're going to demonize and call you crazy no matter what.  Why not just tell the brutal fucking truth at this point?  Expletives and all, whatever is required for people to feel and know you're not completely full of shit or working for those who are willing to exploit even their own "loved ones".  Give them hope in their fellow man, that SOMEONE will fucking stand up for them. I love Bernie, but he ain't it. I think even he knows that. His time has passed, it's past time to put faith in the younger generations.  They understand that throwing the fate of humanity into absolute faith in nothingness is a fucking disease and must be treated as such.

This is what happens when all of the parasites each want their own piece of every living being.  Eventually there isn't enough to go around and still support the life of the host. So not only does the host get sucked dry until it dies, so too do the parasites because there are no other live hosts left to jump to. Societal suicide by slow murder.

Any wealthy or pseudo-wealthy psychopathic, criminal fuck in the entire world can pick, support, and mold their favorite candidate in the United States. Most seats can be bought, and those that can't be bought (because the candidate has already been sold) can be coerced through using their unlimited resources, such as the media, to make a terrible and harmful thing sound necessary or not as bad as it seems, or they can just use intimidation and threats when called for.  And instead of saying, "Hey, these are literally the worst, poorly written villains we see in serial shows and movies, all of the things we're allowing to happen are things we wouldn't tolerate from our own fucking family," we're just watching it all happen, accepting their premise that we're helpless against them.  They have their own private security (not to mention one of the biggest militaries in the world in the NYCPD), hand picked judges, governors, mayors, city councils, corporations, their agreeable CEOs and enabling board, who earn their retirement through the DC/K Street revolving door. They then become fucking consultants and earn passive income until they die, all while they invent new terrible things to do with their (our) money to impress the other ultra wealthy people.  Whom they hate.  All so they can put as much distance/space/air/wealth in between us and them.

The current credit/lending system is going to come crashing down at some point. They're going to blame us for it, and we'll still do nothing, even though the system is more rigged against all of us than it ever has been.  We need to normalize the idea of a general strike.  I am not kidding.  It might take awhile, but I think it can and must be done. Something. Something collective, other than nothing.  We can't just rely on the unions, though they're showing they're still the strongest, most practical path forward. That's why the cunts are (still) trying to destroy them.  We've given up control of every facet of our lives, then we're still told to shut up and do what we're told because we're comfortable and it could be much, much worse.  Then they make it much, much worse, we bitch and complain but do nothing, even though most people are not even actually comfortable at all. They're just tired and beaten down to much to be able to even try to recognize how miserable they actually are.  Corporate America has just redefined what that means by setting the bar so low you don't even demand reasonable human rights for your neighbors, or for the most part, even your fucking self.
