I don't think so. It's all a show, for us to be afraid of our consequences, rather than reflecting on institutions and systems, and the consequences of those collective actions.

So our options are becoming:

Toil for 70 years until you're forced to liquidate everything you have to move into a shitty retirement home or become a burden on any children you may've had.

Drop out of society and refuse to cooperate, facing all the consequences that entails.

Complete a single task that promises 3 meals per day, climate controlled shelter, basic healthcare and the adoration of fans across the country?

Seems like they're making the choice easy for a lot of people.

We have choices, and they are hard choices. Idk unless the Republicans are right https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cV1USdkPQ5w
