Genuinely curious. I keep thinking “it can’t get much worse without some kind of mass uprising” but the ability of the general population of Western states to just soak up suffering seems endless. Do you think we will actually see mass movements in the next decade or two? Or just slowly lurch into a void of ever-shittier liberalism?
By the West I mean like. Western Europe and the Anglosphere I guess.
Nope, not even a chance. The average westerner still benefits from capitalism compared to the third-world so they have no material reason to push for the end of the system. Life sucks but we have enough bread and circuses that the chaos of a revolution is still not preferred.
Every single revolution that lasted were in places where life was hell for the average person. Like, you could be tortured dead by an upper class and they'd only have to pay a fine bad.
Proletarianization is constantly increasing.
