The Soy Right needs a safe space – Dialectics of Decline
On some level we are all too comfortable. We in the heart of the empire have grown so accustomed to our endless flow of treats that it feels almost impossible to imagine the steadfastness of belief in higher principles, risking life and limb for a greater cause, that led to the American Revolution, to the abolition of slavery, to the militancy of the Black Panthers with their rifles and shotguns. Instead of a revolt for a better world, people revolt over minor inconveniences. During the brief period of lockdowns in 2020, there were right wing riots at state capitols because people couldn’t get their hair cut for a couple weeks. The American populace is addicted to their dopamine slot machines and anything that threatens that is treated more severely than the actual threats to life on planet Earth that are all around us. This treatlerism is bipartisan — liberals and conservatives alike often direct more anger towards DoorDashers for an order mix up than towards our rulers who are currently preoccupied with destroying our lives.
