MODERATORS
Not true, a socialist movement was on the rise in the US but then the government started abducting and arresting anyone who had any ties to socialism from Truman to McCarthy.
The government has been very clear that any real threat to zombie consumerism/ capitalism will quickly be snuffed out through state sanctioned violence.
Also, the US bombed the fuck out of every country that tried to resist being taken over by western corporations. "The Jakarta Method" is a very interesting read on the untaught atrocities of the US government that forced the world down the path it went down.
My point, exactly. Industry is the hand that feeds the mouth of the government, so they help each other to destroy society.
And their point is everyone did not just "go with it", they were ruthlessly manipulated and murdered into submission
I was gonna say, going to work every day to afford a living is survival, and not "going with it". Everything else is secondary.
