"If you want to fight the power, focus your opposition where the real power is. The war machine. Imperial power structures. Intelligence agencies. Plutocracy. Capitalism."

The problem is simple: the entire US consciousness is fucked. Dem, Repub, Lib, Conserv, no matter. All are so inundated by the ads hurled at them nonstop, saturating the mind-space — and by the ingrained tradition of propagandized exceptionalism — that the prevailing opinion seems to be that “everything will work out, will be all right”. I’ve spoken to acquaintances who’ve been Trumpers since ’15, and they’re convinced he’ll do the right things for America; just like numnutz shitlib acquaintances who opined the same about the Kamala-Biden admin. The reality-facers — who realize that the shit keeps repeatedly hitting the fan regardless — constitute a tiny fraction of this country’s population.
