(very Chapochat voice) "have yall read The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas? Le Guin is sooo woke"
I have not seen a single person stop to think about these workers all year long! This is particularly hilarious considering nuclear power is literally the only argument that lets these worthless class traitor redditors say "we can fight global warming without stopping production!!! I need to play my Nintendo games!!!" There is no material difference between this website and the Elon Musk death cult, the only thing you are fighting is the working class.
Yes in the story they are aware, I meant that in real life most are not very aware, the majority I would say are not very aware, even if on some level they understand that what they have is built on systems that exploit people few actually have detailed ideas of that. As very online leftist that doesn't apply though, we have likely all seen many examples of the systems brutality.
The story makes it's point well enough but offers no solution, for people that already understand their complicity well enough that makes it a little meaningless. Walking away is a terrible solution, just removing your personal input is classic lib personal responsibility bs. You could go off and live in a cave in real life but that wont solve anything, it wont stop the suffering. Only by completely remaking our various systems can that be achieved, and that can only be done by staying and fighting.
Nicely put
