we live in a country with a brutal history currently being brutalized by billionaires. contemporary liberalism, aligned with the ever aggrandizing forces of late stage capitalism, sells people the idea that they can check out of our history, out of this abject mess of a country, and let the experts handle it. buy a bigger tv and a nicer car on credit, your political participation is only needed for 5 min every 4 years and shame on you if you don’t show up or if you don’t vote blue no matter who
