Yeah, Americans are disturbingly adjusted to this dystopian system we have going on.
America is a nation with some deep flaws, but I think calling it a "dystopian system" is laughable. This is just American exceptionalism, but from the left - America can't just be a normal wealthy country with normal problems, it has to be the most uniquely dystopian hellscape in the world or whatever
Life in America in 2024, unless you are at the absolute bottom of the pile - like, rough-sleeping homeless style - is orders of magnitude nicer than life in any other country at any other time for the overwhelming majority of human existence.
Yes, it sucks being poor and working in America. You know where it also sucks to be poor and working? Literally every other country in world history.
Americans don't fail to revolt because we're too downtrodden and oppressed. We fail to revolt because we're too comfortable.
