MODERATORS
We allowed and continue to allow the rich and the corporations to vacuum up our money at increasing rates while more people become marginalized.
In a post-scarcity world on the brink of climate ruin, how have we let them let us think this is an ok normal?
You gotta hope enough people get screwed to stand up against the bullshit or at least be bothered to show up and vote against the status quo
And yet people seem to be increasingly moving towards right governments and their “easy answers”, even though they almost invariably are neo-liberal, pro-corporation governments, and love to squash social safety nets and climate programs in favour of more breaks for the rich and their companies.
The media is also getting taken over by right wing interests, that peddle their side and push propaganda that pushes the Overton window further right.
They also make any “leftist” movement or bill as seeming way too extreme, while out the other side of their mouth are more than happy to make huge sweeping moves to little to no objection.
The right uses anger very effectively, and the left likes to take the high road, but I fear it’s going to be the end of us all. Any revolution is going to be too slow and too short or a movement at this rate.
