Nobody seems to care.
I genuinely believe that the world as we know it will end horrifically within a decade
Please tell me i'm not crazy
The only thing on this list the average person cares about is the nationals debt, despite it being a non-issue.
its not that they dont care
its that they are cheering for the end of the world
They don't believe they can affect change.
>>756618>The only thing on this list the average person cares about is the nationals debtWrong, that's the thing average people are least concerned abput on that list. They're concerned about the cost of living, you out of touch weirdo.
>>756625practically this
the average man is too knee deep in thinking about work in the morning to actually believe they can single handedly shoot epstein's pedo buddies or end the debt or end cruelty in general or liberate gaza or do anything at all, most people cannot really join a movement like that, so it becomes a general attitude of "not my problem, its already shit for me, and its not like i can make change single handedly anyway, i'd end up like those mocked childish antifas i see on the news"
>>756624https://www.democracynow.org/2023/1/31/richard_wolff_economy_debt_ceiling>>756627No bro, it's "muh taxes" and "muh gas prices" for the average usaian. If there's anything remotely political on the apoliticial's mind, it's the enormous amount of "debt" the US is in.

>>756658the children are the only spark left
flames flames pitter patter whoosh
its cold, hurry put it in again
nose shrivels in the frigid air, the world is clear for just a moment
then back again to the sludge, drowning? drowning already lost
>>756657if you're actually worried about taxes you're petit-bourgeois.
Nobody making $30k a year can be
not taxed into prosperity, you are still fucking broke.
>>756662Then the
average burger is petit bourgeois. Welcome to the imperial core
what do I gain by caring?
I'm about to smoke a cigarette, chud life 2026
All of them are abstract concepts. Mental thought constructs that don't even exist in reality.
>>756657>No bro, it's "muh taxes" and "muh gas prices" for the average usaianIncorrect. Literally the only thing anyone ever fuckin talks about is how expensive everything is, i had this conversation eight times today alone. Also, gas pricea and taxes is part of cost of living moron.
Ofc people care anon why do you think Trump got voted in in the first place? And now lots of Trump voters are moving to the Mamdani camp. Talking about solving the cost of living issue is basically a free get to office ticket
At best we might get another occupy wall street, but as long as the treats still flow people won't do anything, however the treats are becoming more unaffordable so maybe something could happen.

Many people do care, it’s just that people are socialized into being docile and helpless. Everyone is thinking to themselves “Why is nobody doing anything??” waiting on everyone else to do something.
>>756657What is that interview?
Marxist Economist Richard Wolff on How the Debt Ceiling Benefits the Rich & PowerfulThat's not remotely what he said.
>RICHARD WOLFF: The debt ceiling is a decision made by the Congress of the United States to limit themselves. And let me explain. In our federal budget in the government, in order to spend money on the Defense Department, the war in Ukraine, Social Security and all the rest, the government basically relies on taxes. But therein lies a problem in our economic system, because the corporations and the rich, on the one hand, and the rest of us, on the other, want the government to provide services, but we don’t want to pay taxes. And the politicians we elect are caught in that dilemma. They don’t want to lose votes by taxing the rest of us beyond what they’ve already done, and they don’t want to lose donations and all the rest of it from corporations and the rich by taxing them. And they found a solution, because they don’t have much political courage — namely, to borrow the money. In that way, they can pay for the spending without taxing anybody, and they can parade around as if this is an act of efficiency rather than an act of no courage to do what they know could be done — <raise the taxes or cut the spending — and then we wouldn’t have to borrow.
>They’ve been borrowing so much. Let me give you an example. In 1982, the debt of this country and the GDP, our output, were roughly the same. Today, our output is $21-22 trillion, but our national debt is $32 trillion. That is, over all these years, when we’ve had a sequence of debt ceilings, a rule that you can’t borrow more, after the theater of the president and the head of Congress getting together, they extend the debt, they raise the debt again, the ceiling is eliminated or postponed or reset at a higher level, and so the debts keep going. It’s 99% theatrics. Mr. McCarthy can say, “I’m against taxes,” which his base likes, and the Democrats can say, “Well, we don’t want to savage the spending the country needs,” which is what their base wants. They go back and forth. It gets dicey. We have late-night press conferences. <And then we raise the ceiling, which is literally kicking the problem down the road.
<Absolutely, the debt grows again. If you cut taxes, obviously, and you don’t cut spending, you’re going to have to borrow the difference. Or, if you like, if you don’t mess with the taxes but you spend more, then you’re going to have a bigger debt problem.
>What we’ve had is a series of actions in which the euphoria of the moment gets a vote in the Congress without anyone speaking publicly about the impact. I’ll give you two examples. The one you will point to, the tax cut of Mr. Trump, still one of the greatest tax cuts in American history, in December of 2017, it was a savage reduction in how much taxes the government could get, and therefore, of course, it expanded how much you’d have to borrow to replace that debt. Here’s one on the other side. If you suddenly, over the year 2022, expand by $100-plus billion the spending plan for Ukraine, well, then, of course — for the war there, I mean — of course, you’re going to, therefore, get yourself again in an imbalance between the money coming in through taxes and what you’re spending.
<There is another dimension to this that people are afraid to talk about but needs to be talked about. If the government borrows instead of taxing, this is really good news for corporations and the rich, particularly. >And here’s why. If they can succeed in cutting their taxes, as they did under Mr. Trump, for example, then the government has to borrow. <You know who the government borrows from? Them. It borrows mostly from corporations and the rich. The average people of America do not lend to the government, because they don’t have the money. >So, the irony is there’s an imbalance. For corporations and the rich, they can get out of the taxes they might have to pay, <and instead the government comes to them and borrows from them the money they otherwise would have had to pay in taxes. They have to pay that money back to those people, plus interest for the time that they hold this debt. >So you can see that when corporate America pushes for tax cuts, it’s looking at two benefits: It doesn’t have to pay taxes, <and instead it gets to have a loan to the government. The choice between those two is kind of obvious.Like was this article supposed to be contradicting me? That's the point I was making bro. The debt is a theft from the average American buy the oligarchy.
>>756837>pretend like all these parasite financiers get paid.*deserve to get paid.
>>756834>>756835Like I said, the bourgeoisie. The average burger can't even enjoy a socdem life, nothing of that wealth is trickling down.
>>756665Damn, last couple years is the only time since 2008 that american real wages haven't grown?
As a thirdie I'm telling you it's gonna take a lot more than that for revolution
