  • Nah. People get really pissed when they’re REALLY hungry.

    We’re kept at a perfect balance, we can’t afford top shelf stuff, but most people have enough to get by.

    Sure, it feels like everyone is a medium-sized misadventure away from financial collapse, but still, we get by. We have Internet, shows to stream, cheap shitty fast food next door.
    No one can be bothered to go outside to chop heads demanding to redistribute wealth.

    Especially considering that half the population has been talked into believing that by pulling your boot straps you can get as rich as Elon Musk, and Trump is literally Jesus.

    There’s no revolution incoming, just occasional angry tweets.

    I don’t know what “being registered to vote” means exactly in the US, but intuitively it sounds like an unnecessary level of complication and an undemocratic practice.

    Not that my country (Italy) can be taken as an example, but even being it the paradigm of red tape and overcomplicating things, people automatically get a voting card wherever they’re living and they vote.

    It feels like there’s room for improvement tbh.
