i am not sure that there is a political framework that enables a coherent approach to the economic situation. the dominant media and so thinking imprinted by it seems trapped in either the same degenerate ways of thinking that landed us in this mess in the first place or---well what really? there's no counter-discourse to speak of.
this is more or less what i was saying above, but a couple hours later and maybe more clearly.
if there is a message from this past week, it is one of incoherence.
it's like everyone knows that the ideological frames they use are inadequate but there's no alternate space to go to. so they're waiting for something to arrive like a new type of pants. because the consumer pipeline provides all your needs no matter what they might be.
