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.

    Honestly, my biggest concern is the right wing brainwashed masses waking up like sleeper agents in the event of any form of unrest, let alone uprising.

    Not talking about Kyle Rittenhouse types exclusively either. I'm talking about the American landlord who saw on Fox that Palestinians aren't people so a switch flipped in his head and he went on to murder the a kid who he used to play with. A kid who was running up to him for a hug.

    Until the lead poisoned largely pass from this earth, their brain worms are going to be an obstacle.

    I guess we could just start a protracted people's war until they all die from complications of taking horse de-wormer to cure COVID. Sounds like a cool hang.
