sometimes i despair about the extreme state of inequality in the world and its self-reinforcing nature, as the wealthy can use their wealth to hire security, hire PR, generate media, buy off activists, and effectively buy laws (campaign funding/lobbying) to stave off redistribution.

other times i'm inspired because their need to do this maintenance all the time reveals the status quo's actually fragile nature, indefensible when revealed for what it is.
