Chronic case of capitalism

At this rate they'll just end up moving everyone in the state out. Who the fuck will want to stay there?

Unfortunately, a lot of people won't be able to afford to move out. That's what they're counting on.

The capitalists are providing the very ropes from which we shall hang them with. It is crucial that leftists really really start agitating dramatically everywhere, but especially in states like KY. If not, then it allows the fascists to use their false narratives and reactionary actions to spread. Too many workers suffered, fought, and died to bring the basic protections we have. It is beyond time to take the power back after so many decades of the masses believing the lies used to remove everything. The libs can't be allowed to claim that they are the "heroes" of the workers and the poor. They will try to steal the movement and just stop real change.

A vanguard of socialists must form and counter the propaganda that has rewarded ignorance in painting anti-capitalism as somehow being the worst option. Getting unions on board would also help as they too are painted in a similar light as socialism. They aren't the solution, but they do have structures that can be applied to quickly shutting things down and copied by other workers that are still asleep with what needs to be done (aka the "I don't really follow politics" crowds).
