Time is Money is an age-old adage. But it's one each of us has to conceptualize within our own material condition.
If there's one thing I haven't seen a lack of, its naval-gazing self-criticism. Whether its a FOX News host ranting about the Lie-brul Media or a TDS comic ranting about a FOX host ranting about the Lie-brul Media or a Crossfire host ranting about TDS ranting about FOX News ranting about...
It's an ouroboros of criticism. But what comes of it?
The civil action that I see - the Palestine protests and "No Kings Day" marches, efforts to provide relief to migrants crossing the border deserts, anti-war rallies, the journalists collecting information on both the technical and social hazards of slipshod technology like AI and Crypto, the reports on consequences of climate change and political efforts to prevent it, efforts to implement BDS on public trusts and state spending priorities - are all getting bottled up by corporate obstruction and their members brutalized by federal police.
This isn't an issue of attention, its one of action. There's a strong popular demand for big socio-economic reforms that is being squelched by the bloated boot of the police state. So all we have left is people screaming out at one another from underneath.
