    If bread and circuses ever go dry for enough people in America. There will be. But I worry about what will result from that if it happened now. There is no class consciousness here. It needs to be built.

      I’m currently visiting the US (for work, not by choice) for the first time since 2006- you know what the worst part is?

      I’ve been here four days, and if I didn’t intentionally seek out international or reliable news media, I would HAVE NO IDEA that anything had changed. It’s so fucking insidious how benign this garbage can look if you’re not paying close attention. I’m honestly terrified at how fucking normal everything seems, given what’s happening.
