i think I'm the perfect age where i was fed 20 years of promises that yes, capitalism works, and the benefits will accrue to you if you just take them. and then the last 14 years were just a traumatic ripping away of that comfortable lie as the truth riddled its way through me like so many bullets.

i really hope the folks younger than me who never had the chance to be so thoroughly indoctrinated are less burnt out than me, cause. man.
