They played us against ourselves and won.
I meant "Us" generally.
Non-Generally: A lot of us also saw it coming and are watching it happen.
Now we, meaning all of us, need to either accept it and do something about it or continue to deny it and submit.
This -is- the end game.
I can't tell you what to do, because it's going to take a lot. But find whatever makes sense to you, and find people who agree.
I know it's going to get worse before it gets better, but i'd rather "better" come sooner.
it's my personal take and i know many will disagree but:
they distracted the people for decades with this bullshit men-vs-women litigation, to distract them from the systematic erosion of the wages, which is what left politics should have actually concerned itself with.
they attacked the women-men relationship specifically because they knew that love and personal relationships give people enormous strength, and by systematically eroding exactly that (by fearmongering and propaganda), they could weaken the people, making them easier to conquer and subdue.
