I don't know, I think capitalism is quite capable of going for your jugular when you're staring it right in the eyes. I've been unemployed for more than a year, if that's what you mean by 'leaving you to your own devices' than I can hardly disagree but I'm certainly restricted from the public sphere of other people's devices. Does a man without answers necessarily tolerate the received wisdom?
Is the hesitation to be tempered into a revolutionary the same as tolerance?
Too much black and white.
