If you're tired from working all day you won't have the energy to contemplate your situation let alone battle an unfair system.

The only bit that isn't going to plan is the reproduction rate. The rich are getting pissed that you plebs aren't rushing to feed and educate their future workforce. Abortion rights are being taken and child labor is back on the menu

Time and energy isn't the problem. The problem is that almost no one thinks there's anything wrong with the system, and a lot of people will even actively defend it from any attempt to replace it.

The real problem is people conflating Corporatism and Capitalism.

We're about as capitalist as China is communist.

Funny timing, I just got done reading an article on NPR titled "Why can't we stop homelessness? 4 reasons why there's no end in sight." None of the 4 reasons were "it's a feature, not a bug."

But I watched this kick-ass show from Boots Riley the other day called "I'm a Virgo," and it features a character who does fantastic takedowns of capitalism, including an explanation as for why capitalism needs homelessness as part of the climax in the final episode. Unfortunately i can't find a clip on YouTube or I'd post it.
