Because those holding the levers of power saw the BLM protests and rising unionization efforts during COVID, and demanded mandatory RTO and AI investment to preserve their gains.

I think most self-aware people know which way the pendulum is swinging, and the reason there’s “no fight” right now is because those of us who know what’s coming next are too busy protecting ourselves to organize protests again. We did Occupy Wall Street, we did XR, we did BLM and Gaza and anti-ICE, but those with their hands on the levers of power have made it abundantly clear that nothing will change until they’re dead, regardless of how many other people suffer and die before them.

And so, we’re making sure they die first by prioritizing our present survival and taking targeted opportunities when they present themselves, rather than trying to organize a mass movement that most of our peers refuse to give a shit about because they can still make rent as a burrito taxi with three roommates, for now.
