I go back and forth a lot between thinking people are losing faith in U.S. systems in record time, and thinking that I’m making up libidinal fantasies and overestimating the speed or extent of that loss of faith.

So what do you all think?

God I want it to, but seemingly no amount of misery can get past being “background noise” for tons of people in the US. It seems like we won’t get a satisfying collapse, just a slow, constant decline. I thought the riots last summer were the signs of people having enough, but god fucking damn the liberals all to hell, they are amazing at redirecting people’s outrage into performative bullshit and electoral drives instead of revolutionary change.

If every single fuckin megaphone in every city was melted down last year, it might have gone alright.

fuck every megaphone, fuck every person who thought that they should be louder than others.

Liberal recuperation in combination with conservative repression. Thousands are in prison still from those riots.

Tens of thousands were beaten, maimed, traumatized, run over, attacked with chemical weapons, arrested, shot, or killed.
