    It’s not the failure of our parents, it’s the exploitation by the capitalist class, that did this.

      Yeah, it sucks to write this, but the capitalists were simply smarter than everyone else. They’ve gotten to such a level of control and power that it seems like achieving any kind of systemic change is either incredibly, incredibly hard or isn’t feasible at all.

      So I don’t think this situation is comparable to the time of past revolutions. There’s simply too much asymmetry here in not just wealth, but also knowledge, technology, focus and so on. So many people are distracted by trivial things, and if they’re fighting at all, than they’re fighting their neighbors with a slightly different political view.
