    What I mean is there's currently no revolutionary movement in the United States, as much as I'd love to see it.

      There is a very real revolutionary spirit that you will only see if you go to these places and talk to the people there. Like out at Pine Ridge.

      Of course if you're just some random white person, they probably aren't going trust talking to you about any of that. I had the enormous privilege of being invited into discussions and places that I absolutely never would have if it were not for being there as Sungmanitu's guest and the fact that I have a history of supporting their struggle including familial ties.

      They have been preparing for such an inevitability for a very long time, they are just waiting for the white proletariat to be ready to follow them.

        The spirit is there. The movement is not, at this time.

          It is there you just aren't looking for it.

          I don't mean this to come off as condescending, my recent trip out there was very eye opening.

      idk man I see class consciousness building. It's drowned out by all the other shit most of the time, and that's by design, but it's happening. The Overton window is getting spread wide open like a gaping asshole. The bottom is falling out of the capitalist social contract, people are getting hungry. All the usual suspects are lined up to take the blame, but the old narratives don't go down quite the way they used to. There's a lot of balkanized fascism that has to be addressed. Maybe it'll take something on the scale of russia in WWI, but it's coming. We are living in the most interesting of times
