One kind of misery does not negate the existence of other kinds of misery. The pain of living through the Great Depression is different from the pain of seeing reality eroded away into propaganda for the highest bidders, but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be fighting to end misery.
Reality has always been propaganda designed to serve the highest bidders. It’s just more obvious now because they’re changing the propaganda more often.
Just read the plot of grapes of wrath, uhhh, you do understand that the story is about late stage capitalism right? And the person you were responding to is saying how we live in similar times right?
Its like someone saying poison can kill you and you respond with: see this story about how bad lots of poison is… yeah… that’s the point.
This is uncomfortably dark, at a time when unrelenting misery is a way of life
Go read The Grapes of Wrath and The Concrete Jungle. Get back to me on today’s unrelenting misery.

Jotting that down
Nothing can be bad because it used to be worse
America is prone to many different flavours of misery.
My favorite is butter pecan.
Sorry, we were talking about misery, not absolute bliss.
