a lot of people talk about “bread and circuses” without a second thought like we’re all provided those but in addition to the number of people who are out of work increasing the number of people at protests i honestly wonder if the lack of sports is not also assisting that

this is baseball starting/basketball ending/hockey ending season

i think the state kinda created a weird perfect storm for itself and i’m a bit skeptical of it

is this just another step in the plan for our control society?

take away the ability to live and placate ourselves, watch the response and control the response to that response, accelerate the possibilities of reaction intentionally to test the capacity of a public that is not uniform.
