Inside, the Imperial Core. We are given false choices. Which will never solve our problems, but always work in the interest of capital. Well, intentioned, but those that have a shallow understanding of history or a general understanding of how the world actually works will celebrate when the state steps in. This will not solve the problem, because the police state and social control is the primary objective. They create the problem to solve the problem. I am not a liberal. I do not think that you should enable people to do drugs in parks with kids. I do understand that at least them using clean needles is a better option, but I would demand a societal change at the root of the problem. Capitalism doesn't work. But it all depends on your perspective. If you are a person who worships idols, you are easily swayed into handing over your decision making and your mental facilities over to goons who are just trying to benefit themselves then you are easily fooled. The whole political process in the United States hits a brick wall, and I think most people know that who join politics in the United States. They all are just waiting for their root base to grow so they can become a permanent fixture in the hall of corpo dildoes.
So now it's just a popularity contest. Who can spit the most game, Who can get in them Dms.

I do believe when the bread gets short, people would take these kind of radical opinions more seriously. How do you convince the petty bourgeoisie to read between the lines? Living in these times is intense, and to see anything different other than just complete annihilation and collapse, is difficult. I think the spectacle of the modern era blinds us from the deficiencies of our ability to comprehend and understand. This is by design.
