I did when I was a kid, and I think a lot of us did. That's the thing - they teach us in school about all the good stuff capitalism has allowed for, specifically so that it takes us longer to realize that they're cherry picking what they can out of a big pile of shit. But by then hopefully we've started a family or a career or something that we don't want to lose, so they can sell us the lie of complacency and avoid ever having a new revolution. It's getting harder and harder for them to hide the smell of the shit pile, though, and people are getting radicalized younger and younger.

100% this. It's a facade masking the slow boil.
