Yeah I see that now. Thank you.
I think one of the ways my autism comes out is just like, not understanding neurotypicals? (No shit, huh? (Also I hate that language but whatever)) And in moments like this, where something is just so painfully obvious to me — something I’ve been shouting about for literally my entire life — it makes my brain hurt trying to comprehend how people can’t or won’t see it.
Like, I used to labor under the assumption that all people believe, as you said, that capital pushes the state into fascism, but that everyone was just willfully complicit. Then shit like this happens and I’m like, “oh wait… yall like, really thought corporations were like… okay?” I dunno, does that make sense?
Sometimes I just feel really alien in this world and this is just one of those moments.
Oh, yes. Now I totally get where you're coming from comrade. I have felt the same, way to often. One day they'll get it. Revolutionary optimism and all that.
