    they’re comfortable

    This is what the powers in charge have learned. There’s not going to be any sudden world-wars or massive camps to gas socialists, they know well enough now that if you just keep everyone fixated on the narrative and theater, but keep people comfortable enough that they rather clock out of work and crash in their bed, but not entirely starving or needy, then you have a complacent population forever.

    The issue here is that fascism is self-consuming, and they never keep people comfortable for long. The discomfort has been ramping up over the last year.
