  • Desensitation, perhaps. Informations flows more freely now, you hear protests/riots/rebellions everywhere, it just feels “standard” nowadays.

    I’ve seen so much conflict on the news from all around the world. BLM in the USA, Hong Kong anti-extradition, France retirement age increase related protests, Serbia peaceful protesters getting blasted with an energy weapon (yes the governement used an actual energy weapon, its not a conspiracy theory), “Freedom” Convoy in Canada, UK Xenobophic Race Riots, Syrian Civil War, Invasion of Ukraine, Israel-Palestine conflict and war crimes, etc…

    Conflict just became “normal”.















  • I doubt entrenched powers would let the mayor of the biggest US city actually do anything radical like what he campaigned for.

    Its called legislature.

    You’d need like progressives to win enough seats to get a majority in city council.

    If Bernie became President, he probably wouldn’t have gotten much of the progressive agenda done, just look at the composition of congress. You’d need 50 progressive senators and 218 progressive representatives, it’s a long shot. For NYC tho, that’s probably a bit easier, but still, its 26 progressive city council members needed. Basically 26 simultaneous campaigns + the Mayor’s Seat to actually transform the city.
