MODERATORS
This is a really effective rhetorical summary of this moment.
The main point is that we seem to have agreed to enforce the status quo on ourselves. I agree, but I don't feel like people have accepted this state of affairs. I think they are realizing the bamboozle at different times and rates, and once disillusioned, they just add to the number ready for change. It's resignation, yes, but even hollow husks of once-living things create the conditions for a wildfire.
So, if there was a leader that "got it" and communicated this vertiginous moment as well as this essay, we all might find we're closer to a tipping point of change than we think.
the comments in that story are .... what you would expect.
one person telling people to get off their asses... jfk dude, do you even realize that perspective of other people is part of the problem?
"Nobody wants to work anymore!"
FUCK OFF
It's the same tier of people who drove down to the No Kings protests on a Saturday morning to ride around and shout things at us like "Get a job". Not a trace of common sense in their heads. Just unhinged, irrational emotion and simple, silly catch phrases. My buddy's parrot does the same, but at least she's pretty and sometimes manages to use her words in the proper context.
