    This is uncomfortably dark, at a time when unrelenting misery is a way of life

      Go read The Grapes of Wrath and The Concrete Jungle. Get back to me on today’s unrelenting misery.

        Jotting that down

        Nothing can be bad because it used to be worse

        One kind of misery does not negate the existence of other kinds of misery. The pain of living through the Great Depression is different from the pain of seeing reality eroded away into propaganda for the highest bidders, but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be fighting to end misery.

          Reality has always been propaganda designed to serve the highest bidders. It’s just more obvious now because they’re changing the propaganda more often.

        America is prone to many different flavours of misery.
