Most people’s lives are materially improving.
That’s not enough.
Those two things are not mutually exclusive. The recognition that we’re getting more scraps than we were before is not justification for only receiving scraps - we deserve more than scraps
We are better poised now to see the inequalities and oppression which has long-been-present in society - arguably always been present. We have the tools of communication and education to observe it clearly, and we have the tools to fight it.
People are stupid and brainwashed, but not in feeling dissatisfied with the current state of affairs. Typically, the stupidity and brainwashing comes in play when asking them what is causing their dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs.

Man, I’m asking that people vote in addition to direct action. It’s not a big ask. I promise.
I mean, we’re both regulars on here. Some rando I probably would’ve told to fuck off, but @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com has a good head on his shoulders, and I trust that I can have a legitimate argument with him and that he’s acting in good faith.

Absolutely deluded.
I invite you to do some study on contemporary American history. The recent past will horrify you, I promise.
Bros that’s crazy. Are you bots or just care about the opinion of randos online a lot?
db0 literally runs one of the major instances, he isn’t a bot. Neither is Pug, who is a regular poster on here.
