Here in burgerland, it seems there's no end to the ways that people can bury their heads in the sand or just all together deny that awful things are happening. But I'm wondering, what are the critical social structures that, if attacked, will be an undeniable shattering of the illusion for most people?

Don't know if this makes sense, I'm very eepy.

The only thing that would start waking people up is when the flow of treats stops. When the imperialist loot starts running out and material conditions start going in freefall, maybe people will start seriously organizing, but I fear it's going to be too late until any of that happens before full blown fascism makes organizing a near impossible thing to do

It's never impossible.

Have hope.
