The real debacle is between the people who agree that in our nation with such vast resources and technology, everyone should get their basic needs met, and the people who want to live larger than others, and insist some people deserve to die in the streets for not being hard enough workers, or making mistakes, or whatever other bullshit irrational false narrative they come up with to revel in the suffering of others.
The saddest bit to me are all the non-wealthy at all Americans who will fight you to the death for the second one. They refuse to live without an economic class of people to look down on as they drink in the dopamine hit of schadenfreude, watching those suffering human beings, and declaring “good, that’s what you deserve for your bad decisions or something, suffer more!”
That’s why I agree with you that the world will burn, but why I don’t find it that sad in the US with our near univeral punch down attitude. We tell our most victimized citizens to fuck off and die on the sidewalk, we throw them away like the defective capital batteries our owners consider them, so unlike the increasingly rare societies that care for one another rather than worshipping capitalist economic growth/metastasis at all costs, we won’t get, nor do we deserve a future.
I think it’s because us non-wealthy people would rather not have more taken from the remaining 50% of our income after taxes as more taxes to cover something we may not agree with thereby leaving us with even less to get by. Why should I go out and bust by ass every day just to pay for someone else’s lifestyle?
Don’t worry, the peasant circular firing squad you love so much will remain intact.
The capitalists that indoctrinated you from childhood to believe its better to work against one another instead of being a society wouldn’t have it any other way. And they own the media, the government, and effectively you and I, so they’ll continue to get their way.
So you’ll keep getting what you want, because they trained you to want what’s against your own interests.
Yeah just ignore how you’re paying more for that shit anyways because a lot of it is actually societally necessary, it’s just that now you have profit seeking private companies handling the funding as opposed to the government which would provide it as a service, likely free at point of exchange.
Taxophobes will literally pay extra just for the bill to not say uncle sam was the one who charged it.
And neither can agree on what “the system” once it’s fixed/dismanted should be so the rest of us suffer while the world burns.

It amazes me you explain a problem so clearly and coherently, and some still don’t understand it. Hope you’re doing well.
