Like the man said: We're still far from the beginning of the end, but we may be seeing the end of the beginning.
One thing we have to work on is resisting the perception of scarcity being pressed on us night and day by a system that can't survive if we recognize what a shitty little game is being played by the clear-eyed pragmatic free-market entrepreneurs who tell us they have more because they work more, or they work smarter, or they're just better - and blah blah blah.
It's bullshit. Billionaires and their multinational conglomerates are parasites. And the benefits that so many people depend on - that the ruling class is bent on withholding - is really just a way of rewarding greedy assholes for things like wage theft, and "externalizing cost".
So the greedy assholes may think they're being clever by "applying discipline" in order to rake in greater profits - that they're getting away with something - but they're actually busy shooting themselves in the foot.
As you concentrate more and more power and money into fewer and fewer hands, you create a bigger and bigger group of angry frustrated people who, eventually, are going to see they have nothing left to lose.
And they will come for you.
embrace the suck
stay in the fight
