I love this channel, and starting my day with this video, it put me into this amazing open-hearted place where I long to unite with others to build something better whereas I am much more prone, normally, to angrily wish to tear the capitalist's world down.

      in my experience, most other zoomers recognize that capitalism (whether they call it that or not) is fucked up to some extent or another but feel resisting it is futile and dangerous. more than political apathy, it's political learned helplessness born out of the death of mass politics and organization under neoliberalism.

        They are ultimately comfortable. Even if exploited, even if destitute, there is routine their to lives. Until their routines are upset and unsustainable will anyone actually be in a position to slide into the cool zone.

          This is the big problem. Bread and circuses work. People will endure unlimited suffering if they get their treats and going along seems safer than revolting.
