Been saying all this shit since 6th or 7th (stupid meme not intended) grade when I saw the writing on the wall. It's fucking annoying that only since the COVID lockdowns does it appear anyone else started seeing it, too.
I mean, I'm not going to turn away allies just because they woke up later. I might be a little suspicious, but allies are allies.
And to be fair, most of the people seeing it now are the generations after mine, so they weren't even around when I was in middle school.
Most people don't care until it impacts them personally. I don't love it, but it's just how people work. I hate that the accelerationists may have been right.
God that sends chills down my spine. I never thought of it that way. I always thought accelrationists were just opportunists, but you may be right in that they aim to have as many people personally harmed by the system so that they might all wake up and form a resistance.
Covid showed many people it didn't have to be this way. The ppp loans that were appropriately used to pay staff that had to quarantine. (Lots of them were abused.) The extended unemployment benefits, some states expanded Medicaid, the roll out of work from home on a vast scale. I feel you though. I'm 45, and as a 20 year old it was clear the system was rigged.
