Quote from Our Mutual Friend. In 1865, two years before Das Kapital, Dickens, in his own way, grasped that the point of finance was to uncouple the accumulation of wealth, land and power by the ruling class from anything of substance in the material world.

In this thread Foxton points out: “It’s Bond mate. Nobody cares about the lore."
It's like Batman - there's been 4 versions in movies alone.
Bond had no continuity before & the Bond with continuity explicitly rebooted the whole thing. So do that again! No one cares.

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

This is a positive way to view this crisis - what is meant to overwhelm the populace also means a broad spectrum of radicalizing moments that may create solidarity between many types of people in the majority against the well armed & wealthy minority of tyrants
what if the firehose of fascist shit isn't wiping out the memory of the electorate? what if it's just hitting different things? and idk it seems like a persisting problem to me that dems aren't in lockstep with and fully tied to no kings, possibly the biggest social movement in american history

I waited a day to say this bc I respected everyone's right to vent some anger, but *remember to focus on what you can do*. Whether it's defending your community, taking action around what you've been venting about, whatever — but don't let all of your energy get captured in the social media space.
