You know when I was reading The Nation in the Zack de la Rocha/culture jamming ‘90s between the end of the Cold War and even the Naomi Klein years

Even in my teens I knew to scoff how each issue would have something about some hopeless North Dakota teachers’ strike or something as The Thing That Was Gonna Turn This All Around

It was laughable but in retrospect some of them were the formation of UNITE-HERE or the unionization of hotels and Las Vegas casinos or of home health aides which turned out to be the actual things that DID arrest the slide
