Genuinely curious. I keep thinking “it can’t get much worse without some kind of mass uprising” but the ability of the general population of Western states to just soak up suffering seems endless. Do you think we will actually see mass movements in the next decade or two? Or just slowly lurch into a void of ever-shittier liberalism?

By the West I mean like. Western Europe and the Anglosphere I guess.

I feel like I'm living on borrowed time and that I'm only barely keeping the wolf from the door, so to speak, so I doubt I'll see the revolution in my time, especially in my shithole country but I'd say that if we assume that most people here have another 60-odd years on this earth that collectively we are pretty likely to see a revolution kick off somewhere in the west.

When it does happen, be sure to send my regards.
