I agree, but also it's important to realize that there were reliable pressure release valves. The FBI/CIA didn't put down the American revolution, being able to afford a house did it. Now, we're getting to the point where the 30-50k year income bracket is going to be priced out of apartments and wind up in long term hotels until they totally fall through the cracks, and the previous bracket that lived in apartments are dropping out of the labor market and society as a whole if they aren't sharing a 2 bedroom with 6 other people. Even the Floyd protests were squelched through the vague promise that a Biden presidency would return the "tension" back to pre-Trump standards (which are still genocidal).

No one is promising anyone under the age of 35 anything. The best you can get from the Republicans are low hanging culture war victories that alienate a larger amount of people each go around, and the Dems' offer is "eat shit and die for another highway lane". Post-2008 created a generation who had nothing, and post-2022 looks like it'll be demanding that generation to pay a price that their grandparents wouldn't have been able to pay when the state still allowed for social democratic concessions. You can't even fucking smoke decent cigs unless you spend the time to roll your own at this point.

I don't expect concessions to the working class anytime soon, but I disagree with the people also expecting some sort of balkanization to occur soon either. I think the United States as it stands currently is much more fragile and rotten than we realize, and only exists to suppress the working class. It's why the only real answer to inflation is to raise interest rates and get double digit unemployment. The state is totally moribund, and I think we're likely to see a total collapse of the economy. You'll try to go to McDonalds, but they'll have one or two members of management working, having to explain to customers that all they have for the day are fries because their supply of beef and chicken is delayed indefinitely. Walmart gets more infrequent restocks because they can't afford to pay anyone with a CDL more than $25k a year and turn a profit, the backlog on transistors needed to repair the trucks is immense, and the hours would be brutal for the early 1800's (they're already trying to get kids into these roles). School attendance plummets (it already has) as public schools, already stretched to the breaking point from lack of funding and staff (compounded by culture war bullshit) now have to share a portion of their budget with the private catholic charter school down the block, and that place is only kept afloat because they've never paid a cent in taxes despite tuition resembling the price of college two generations ago. A lot of kids are already priced out of sporting programs, even in public schools. Rolling blackouts become more commonplace. The water dries up to the west, but don't worry, that almond crop will will continue uninterrupted. Profit continues to plummet because even if business could operate at decent standards (which as of the time of me typing this out, it really can't in the US), whatever money the worker will have been able to scrap together will go straight to rent seekers. Both parties are totally captured by capital and refuse to use the state to reign it in even for their own sadistic agendas. Donald Trump governed like Jeb! would have except slightly louder, and Biden governed like Trump would have if he won. Things will stop.

Within that context, do you think the state garners more consent? Do you even think it maintains the ability to police as effectively? For what it's worth, by the Pentagon's own projections, they expect internal warfare against the US military around 2025, not due to an existing political faction taking up arms against the state (they largely benefit from it, even in it's rotting state) but due to economic conditions deteriorating until that's all that's left to do. I think after Floyd, and the increased tension from the recent Supreme Court ruling, and the impending depression (that'll make the one we've been living in for two years seem like a dream), we're on track. When that time comes, I'm sure the CIA/FBI/DHS will knock it out of the park. They have a fantastic track record against protracted guerilla warfare during the height of the empire's power, I'm sure they'll have no issues when the insurrection is coming from inside the house, and nothing's getting made.

The movements are easy to coopt cuz there is no structure. There is no van gaurd there is no leadership. They also aren't serious in actually forcing what they want

Decentralized movements organically just fall apart. And that's what blm, occupy and other recent movements have been.
