I’m not trying to fedpost or any form of 
-posting in any form, more just marveling at the entirely lackluster response of the American public to the maddeningly absurd state of American politics.
Of course Americans are the most propagandized people on Earth, but it’s been that way for generations, and at this point I feel like the sheer amount of shit that is allowed to just fly by with full knowledge of the public with little or no 
moments is preposterous. Not to mention the fact that as things continue to get worse, there are more and more people who are desperate and/or unwell, and in such a position as to incite some crazy shit.
Like… at this point, it’s just open knowledge that the government is a cabal of bloated parasitic pedophiles, and it has been so for quite some time now. Not just “they MIGHT be doing some creepy shit”, but rather they definitely, 100%, without any question have been, are, and will continue to do the most abhorrent type of shit anyone can imagine, for their own sick satisfaction and greed. Conversely, the number of people who’ve lost someone to the soul-sucking nightmare that is our healthcare system, or who’ve lost a child or loved one in any of our many shootings, or any number of other reasons to be righteously revolted by this manufactured reality we live in, is surely immense.
While some people are obviously acting out in all the most disgustingly wrong ways (i.e. said shootings), there’s quite a lot of people who know the correct people to blame for our collective misery, who also have nothing left to lose, because they’ve tragically lost it all already.
So… am I just wrong to expect that more type shit should be going down by now?
Sympathizer recommended the Jakarta Method and I believe it would resonate with you. Here is a section from the end I still think about to this day
Additionally, here’s the article on “brainwashing” and why most first world workers appear to be brainwashed by capitalism. You basically already summed up the thesis without knowing it
“My life IS comfortable despite being jobless and having to resort to weird side gigs to get by. Life could be a lot worse”

Organizing is weird here in the states because the people who can afford to take time out of their days to organize are mainly white, mainly middle class, and have fairly comfortable lives. People aren’t organizing out of “desperation” because for all intents and purposes that’s not what’s happening on the ground here. Of course our orgs being full of these people means that we have a hard time interacting with the people we are trying to help and who are truly destitute such as the folks on SNAP, homeless people, chronically unemployed, etc.
I am aware of my privilege and the privilege of those organizing with me. We still are doing ICE watch, are still organizing mutual aid and such, but I don’t consider us future leaders or any revolution.
