Oh, it's simple ~~easy~~ to fix, just very painful. Nobody wants to fix this because it means dismantling capitalism and bringing those responsible to justice. This is why there is so much support for fascism. They run from the boogeyman they know into the arms of the ones that promise a return to normalcy.

The elephant in the room is the huge violence required to bring any "simple fix" to fruition. The fascists are doing some of the violence for their own simple fixes, now, openly. They of course intend the further violence, too.

Some of us see the elephant. Most of us (almost all of us, myself included!) are just tryna get from one day to the next. That's bad, elephant gets bigger...

I think you mean simple, not easy. Getting a large group of people to do anything is not easy.

You are right, and my French is showing.
