Still no unemployment insurance because the UI office has had me stuck on the waiting list for 2 months + 7 days and I’m set to be evicted in a little over 1 week from now. I am probably going to commit a crime.
Very refreshing to read what I hold to be both a simple and material conception of present political currents. The internet is a complicated blessing.
Separate and beyond your point, which I very much agree with, I predict this will ultimately re-center a focus onto publicly ratified power. As it stands, corporations are effectively state institutions with no public ties. There are some striking congruencies with feudalism in modern capitalism, but technology makes it all virtually incomparable in the big picture. The internet transcends beyond physical empire not only for worse but ultimately for better in this case. If only the road to democracy from here were not so bloody nonetheless.
