    The Almighty Dollar, look how it enslaves us. Can’t stop paying rent, or bills. Can’t bow out in protest. Need to get money, need to get food. Have to keep the machine spinning, even as we turn rapidly towards our graves. We are incapable of thinking more than a day ahead. No one has stopped to ask what this time next year will look like at this pace.

          Because the union leaders have been bought by Trump. They don’t need to lead anytjhing. Saying, this person needs to lead, or this thing needs to happen. Is just putting the responsibility onto others while you feign powerlessness. Not me, I’m not responsible for this, I didn’t ask for this…

          How many people have asked why nobody stopped the Nazi’s when they started disappearing people? Diffusion of responsibility is why. You can always find a reason why you don’t need to and then you can assuade any guilt through the technology your corporate masters have given you. Just keep pretending, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
