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?
The “business as usual” facade. It’s taking immense amounts of cached political capital to maintain. It’s basically entirely an illusion, no one I know personally thinks the system is working. It’s basically an entire generation of workers that are prepared for some form of revolution.

I hope so, because I can’t take much more of this crap. I’m very skeptical there will be a revolution here though.
Prepared for revolution and actually carrying out a revolution are two different beasts. The conditions are ripe right now and disillusion is at a peak. Most workers are starving for any alternative form of organization.
