      because every American is a hyperindividual consumer, public space has been eliminated, and any non-market-based social formations have been squeezed out of existence

      Not enough people have realized others are also being screwed yet. They keep us isolated as possible.

      Effective propaganda, poor education, and selective proletarianization forced mostly onto various minoritized underclasses whose radicalism can be violently out down without the rest of the population caring.

      But good news! Proletarianization is coming for everyone. But bad news! A lack of a left means it will have a fashy outcome by default! But good news! :xi-plz:

      No Maoist insurgency because no Mao. Who is taking the Long March into the hinterlands of Middle America in order to build a people's army in opposition? glances around askance

      I agree people should be in revolt. But at some level they have to be able to see one another and organize amongst their peers, ideally under a set of materialist views that lead to better lives. The American opposition has vanishingly little leadership outside of the corporate and criminal worlds.
