i don't even think the treat pacification is deliberate and is just as hapless as the rest of it. if that was true, the bear minimum would be to keep food prices low. but the rot and ideology are subsuming it all.
they'll forget the supply of treats is the last bulwark and fuck it up somehow as well. it will only mask deteriorating material conditions for so long because they won't know when to stop taking, even from their own core
i really do think there's a desperate race to obsolete human labor (whether they pull it off or not) and the treats are just a short term distraction from the coming classicide
Well Trump ran on inflation and promised to give treats back by punishing the rest of the world. If he actually implements the tariffs the opposite will happen, of course, inflation will get so much worse. But I think fundamentally this plan of telling people you'll get them the treats and the culture war W is enough to keep the vast majority distracted.

oh yeah no doubt. it's the #1 motivator for USians that are downwardly mobile and coping
Cant keep food prices low with monopoly
Late stage capitalism gotta rain on all the parades
You can absolutely keep prices low with a monopoly
It just has to be a state monopoly
