    Just rewatched Adam Curtis's Hypernormalization the other day and yeah, it's a recurring issue.

    All the revolutionaries are dead and we are running around trying to manage ourself into power. Without a dedicated political goal there can be no revolution.

    That's not to say the revolution is dead, only in stasis until we can figure out how to rebuild political consciousness beyond immediate protest and management of protest

        The fascists don't have it either, they can't even organize protests half the time. What we're gonna get is a heightening of the technocratic capitalist control system. They're gonna use Bayesian systems to try and grind us all down even more. Nash and Bool have had their time in the sun, we've been molded by fear and doubt. Now it's time for uncertainty.

          I meant the Capitalist fascists who decide what everyone thinks, not the local freikorps bums.
