I just go on such rants to feel sane in a cruel, insane world.

I have no hope for it changing or getting anything but worse in any of our lifetimes. Too many safeguards. Too much propaganda dividing those that would revolt. The oligarch class owns the media, the means of production, they control the curriculum from Kindergarten through colleges of economics, and if it comes to it, they captured their own regulators and government and thus also own the means of state violence.

I shout it to feel sane, but I'm aware most ears it would fall on are willfully deaf.
