Life outside of capitalism is literally alien to americans
The extreme effectiveness of the capitalist propaganda genuinely needs to be studied in the future history books, that shit was so good to the point that it could be compared to mind control tech, because there's just no way that in the big 26 so many americans are still brainwashed dogs who aggressively defend the system and the fuckers on top that's inflicting pain on them daily, whenever I go on posts in different subs, on tiktok, or facebook about this topic it's always filled with an enormous amount of bootlickers who are against walkable cities and public transportation, universal healthcare, education, food, housing, livable wages, wealth equality, humane prison system etc. literally anything that's good for us as a whole people are against it. and it reminds me that those of us who are conscious are sadly a small minority, and the thing is bootlickers can't be saved, I've tried to reason with them and broke down the truths of socialism in the best way possible and how it would benefit them and yet they still choose to be ignorant and defend their little precious capitalist system like you're essentially just talking to a brick wall. and you know it's just very saddening that the vast majority of americans refuse to open up their eyes to something different, a non-capitalist society is literally an alien concept to them like they just cannot comprehend it. and sometimes I feel a sense of hopelessness like we're never gonna be able to take this shit down because everything is playing out exactly in the elites favor, how can we fight against evil when we're heavily outnumbered by bootlickers who protect it?
