i've been thinking a lot recently about how much actual real revolution depends on food insecurity and hunger, at bottom. in my view pretty much no other material deprivation - lack of access to healthcare, for example - can drive people to the lengths necessary to attempt to overthrow the status quo. which essentially means that here in amerikkka we are a loooooong way from really entering The Cool Zone, because while most people are miserable, they are not hungry. realistically nobody's gonna start or join a revolution unless the alternative is literally starving to death
