as if the situation in the US (or really anywhere in the industrialized world) has gotten better since, say, the year 2000? this isn’t something i need to pretend to see. i’m not talking about the middle ages here, i’m talking about a disasterous series of events very much in my lifetime. and yours.
if apathy is the issue, and getting an education, working to support oneself and pay one’s rent, or house payments, and supporting/joining in the political fray is apathy, then what is your suggestion as far as a course of action? because i, and many others, are feeling pretty disenfranchised, because we’ve been systematically disenfranchised, and having myself symbolically arrested or beaten half to death by police is going to cost me a few more packs of ramen than i can afford.
