their con man idols tell them that the reason their lives are shitty is because of the mexicans, gays, black people, women, librarians, immigrants....everyone except the people who are literally paying them nothing and laughing at them for it.

and the people are all too happy to believe it

I think a lot about something i read somewhere - "you hate every piece of capitalism but won't connect the dots to see that's the picture".

Everything always boils down to people being dumb and if magically the people would become smart, all problems would just get fixed.

Not even smart , in a genius-like sense. I'd settle for merely cooperative.

Like if people could drop the petty "movement purity" squabbles and just rustle up that meme energy "apes together strong" for each other as the working class, instead of individualizing their struggles and settling for misery, we could really get somewhere!
