Slop.

I wish it weren't the reality that conditions must get even worse for revolution to happen. I live a relatively comfortable life so long as my parents remain alive. Once they pass, though, straight down the poverty hole. But too many people still see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires and not as systematically barred from wealth. Maybe conditions don't need to worsen if people were informed, but even where people are willing to teach, so many are unwilling to listen. I know there's that essay about how brainwashing isn't really a thing like we think of it, but I think it still has some truth to it.
