at least back then there was a labor movement that was actually gaining momentum. people were getting shot at for striking and they kept striking anyway. now we've got guys working three gig apps. We have an economy increasingly revolving around everyone being servants for rich people

the thing that gets me is how normalized it all is. rockefeller and carnegie were at least publicly shamed into building libraries and universities. our guys just build rockets and buy social media platforms and everyone claps. the PR is better now

Normal people cannot afford houses. The slavery of capitalism is probably at its worst in history today and its very bleak to imagine

This is a historically uncomfortable place to be in because of how inconsistent progress has been. Or multidirectional. The ugliest faces of imperialism have been cleaned away (outright racism, outright colonial brutality) but the logic remains

There is now, just it's difficult to look into and mostly exists in the 3rd world.

Your mistake, OP, is you think people will revolt because it is their duty, like Aristotle or Aquinas–they won't revolt because the regime is a plutocracy or the decadence of the Esptein Files.
Well…
Hobbes & Tempest Shadow are more accurate: people revolt either when it is opportune or when their discontent foments from personal harm to them directly as to kill them. –They don't really care if USA is bombing and killing other people far away or if others they barely know suffer–and they'll bring up the suffering to take advantage of it against their opponents to shame them, not out of compassion for the suffering.
