it's a cycle that keeps escalating so long as profits get squeezed tighter and tighter. at some point the whole system breaks and the only question is who seizes power when that happens. if we have orgs and can channel popular discontent, it will be us. if not, we'll be posting from the camps. the future is not yet written - projecting the present forward into the future is good at telling you what will happen next week but it's a shitty approximation before you even get out to a year.
Any way you put it, things are going to get crazy. That's why I'm getting that feeling.
