With the coming wave of evictions and shit like this, criminalizing homelessness, makes me wonder if we’re headed for the cool zone or will americans just roll over like they always do.
I was so excited during the Floyd protests of last year. I thought we were finally turning a corner :sadness:
If a million people become homeless over the course of a year or two probably nothing happens. If I they lost their homes within a few weeks or a month then something might happen. There’s no class consciousness in this country so the only shot at it is an extreme and sudden shock.
By late 2024, the twenty square blocks that made up Sanctuary District A had become overcrowded slums. With the records of people inside the Sanctuaries not uploaded to the planetary computer network (and therefore not accessible using an Interface), the true conditions inside were unknown to the general public. American society believed that, despite the political upheaval affecting Europe at the time, the United States was stable and had found a way to successfully deal with the social problems that had been the genesis of the Sanctuaries. An “out of sight, out of mind” mentality had set in. People in the district started to believe that their needs were forgotten.
“…there is one thing I don’t understand: how could they have let things get so bad?”
“That’s a good question. I wish I had an answer.”
