Yes. There are frequent reports of lead inside of our food and everyone just keeps chugging along. The only difference between us and a Victorian youth eating sawdust is that most people are more comfortable than him, so they accept the sawdust in their food because they’re unable to imagine a better future
This. In the words of Mark Fischer: “Lowering our expectations, we are told, is a small price to pay for being protected from terror and totalitarianism.”
This is why corporate rule is so....comfortable for people. Sure, they can make life shitty, but at least no one is being told what to do. Restricting THEIR freedom in any way leads to apocalyptic consequences, but enshittification is neutral or sometimes beneficial.
