I have a problem with the whole “look at how many gas station!!! The strip Mall!” memes being taken as an actual theory of voyeuristically observing decay of social structures and labor conditions like it magically signals the epoch of capitalism ending.

EDIT: Kinda wrong to say voyeuristically I mean hey we’re all experiencing it and it sucks. I just literally get the urge to point at other bad things happening elsewhere and be like “this is a chain reaction which will make my current worsening conditions part of a great boiling-over”.
