We are paying attention but we all feel like there's nothing we can do to stop it so we try to numb the pain.
Dear future historians: You wil look back in horror but know that we feel helpless. The only parallel we have ended in a world war that had to be ended by a newly arisen superpower. And that scares the shit out of us.
Yeah, watched Adam Curtis' 'Hypernormalisation' dokumentation and was like, oh that's why I feel like this. Goes to show, the sleep of reason produces monsters.
Anyways completely unrelated to this, I'm limiting my social media intake and am now looking to unionize my workplace lol.
I watched that a couple of years ago and it was a definite realization of the world we live in and how it got this way. One of the most necessary documentaries that everyone should watch.
Move your social media use to places like Mastodon and get your new union members to talk there. You will find plenty of union minded people there once you start exploring the communities everywhere. Mastodon is still so new that not many company minded people go there ... those same corporate people instead go to the big private social media sites instead and don't even think that there is any alternative.
America was created by violence any change that ever occurs has occurred through conflict. You don't ask a bully to stop
