The good news is that the US is making it easier and easier to have this conversation. Before the whole Epstein business, people dismissed you as a crazy conspiracy theorist when you pointed out that the west is ruled by unaccountable oligarchs. Now, it’s become impossible to deny it.
What’s changed now though is that material conditions have deteriorated significantly from 15 years go. People didn’t really have a reason to question the system as long as they could make ends meet and have some hope for the future. Today, a huge chunk of population has been pushed to the brink, and young people have nothing to look forward to. And that creates disillusionment in the system which makes people a lot more aware of what’s happening.

Harvard scientists proved the US was an oligarchy about 15 years ago. It’s old news and Americans didn’t catch on until about 2024.

It sure would have been better if people cared before like me but I guess I’ll take any win. At least people are catching on now.
yeah, better late than never as the saying goes
