  • People are surprised to find out that this is the reality under capitalism. When everything is tied to pandering to the upper class, you working class suckers always get the short end of the stick. Even when it comes to “liberal institutions”. If their profits are gone, they are gone. Their existence is intrinsically tied to pandering to the upper class. This is why capitalism is intrinsically fascistic.

    Good for you that you had a great time wasting a year (and our tax money) in the military. If you liked it this much, go back! Maybe that way we won’t have to send tens of thousands of our children to the military, especially against their will, when there are so many people out there that find the military so cool and entertaining.

    Personally, I was in the same situation as you a few years ago. I was in complete despair, burned out by the sheer pressure of the ever changing political landscape, always slipping bit by bit closer to fascism. Thankfully, a friend pulled me out of it by making me engage with local political organizations. I joined a marxist group, read a lot on political theory and on history. Only then I realized that what I was fearing the most was the unpredictable. But it doesn’t have to be like that. The more I expanded my knowledge in terms of history, economics, and politics, the more I felt like I at least knew what to expect, that I was somewhat in control of my fear. Don’t get me wrong, I still dread the future, but all that I can say now is that at least I now somewhat know what the future brings. And while my outlook still stays bleak, having an understanding of what’s happening around you lets you have a more rational and hands down approach towards your fears. Also, engaging politically at a local level helps a lot too. You can make an impact and see things changing for the better at least in your direct vicinity.
