"It's even shittier to think that they had to contribute to a system financially that they weren't even allowed to vote in."

This is tragic / ironic on many levels.

1) If voting were effective they'd make it illegal.

2) There's over 40 ways to rig the vote, and "they" are active on all of them all the time.

3) A Princeton study proved the masses opinions are never considered.

4) We spend the best parts of our waking lives in non-democratic work places serving bosses who serve their bosses, etc. (Even independents have banks, taxes, etc.)

Democratic worker directed enterprises, aka worker coops, are never discussed nor promoted as an alternative solution in the corporate media for a reason. They can't even stand unions. If people actually knew about this then they'd be forming coops right now instead of being unemployed and frantic.

With the way that we have everything dependant on tech, it'll only get easier too. I feel like extremely shitty things are right there at the surface and maybe even a majority of people know about and understand what's going on to a degree, but no one wants to rock the boat and make the small comforts end.

We've got all of these fantastic technological advancements and they've effectively fucked us over by making it easier to work us for longer. Christ, you can't even look in the direction of a trade or a warehouse/general labor job without seeing a metric fuckton of required overtime now.

Truth. And it will get worse now, as desperate people will soon do anything for pittance work.

Until the working class revolts, which isn't likely to happen.

They wouldn't know how to revolt and the MSM is intentionally currently teaching them how NOT to have a successful revolt.

The mainstream has been distracted and dumbed down on purpose. Ironic considering we're in the age of the Internet.

We're effectively doomed anyway. I'm patiently waiting for societal collapse or a big, tasty ass meteor to zoot us out of existence.
