@cwarzel Unconcious suicidal ideation? Nostalgia?

@cwarzel I go back to when I started to sketch an idea of this virus with my mind's eye. I told a good friend "This thing isn't going away. Nothing is going back to the way it was."

"Eh," he said. "I didn't really like the way it was."

@cwarzel He was one of those musicians that played large street festivals in Chicago.

@cwarzel He later told me somethin to the effect of, "Music is going to become more 'boutique,' smaller groups, more recording, less performing."

@cwarzel Unlike the status quo media, the working class is AHEAD of you guys. One of the first things my neighbor told me last year was, "They're trying to kill us." Your papers don't know where the pulse is because it has escaped you.

@cwarzel The beneficiaries of this depraved world system are the only fuckin people itching for the wine bar, a concert or show at the cinema because they really never cared about the experiences of the people who made all that possible in the first place.

@cwarzel The parents who can afford a Montessori school for their prince are the only people peddling anti-science and anti-union tripe under the rubric of progress to stuff the maximum number of young bodies from broken homes into a confined space.

@cwarzel East Coast Liberal rags like the New Yorker are busy distorting the truth and engaging in a journalism of omission that's pushing the working class into the waiting arms of conspiracy theorists who are brainwashing them. Your employer, for example.

@cwarzel But we've lost all respect for figures of authority because since last year, it has become clear that your authority is baseless and without merit.

@cwarzel Capital isn't interested in independent thought. They want obedient, little sycophants to line their ducks in a row.

@cwarzel @threadreaderapp unroll please. Thanks, bud.
