    I get it. We're in our third financial crisis "of a lifetime." You can't afford a groceries, restaurants, cars, healthcare, or a house. Rights are stripped away from us daily. Neo-nazis are even more mainstream than Nazis in West Germany. We are told things are looking up, but we all know things are worse than ever. What can we do if all we know is vote blue (or UK labour)? Scream at the void. Blame someone, anyone. An amorphous blob with no more meaning than a comic book villain becomes the outlet for capitalism's torture, and it is not questioned until it is confronted by Lemmy users, in what you thought was a shitposting meme about le china.
