indication now will evaporate when the moment does. what we will remember is the masked men and women who appear nameless, faceless, expressionless, thankless in the background of the lives of elites on the fringes of their decadent celebrations. they are kneeling on the floor, their fitting the clothes, they are serving the food. they are pouring the wine. they are working while the powerful, the rich, the celebrities, the politicians party in delight in heir unearned guilt and glitter. they are working these americans are working while their rulers have made them hide their faces. they made them hide their faces with the excuse of public health in a by gone crisis all of the better to make the rest of us look at them as they party and preen. it isn t just the met gala. it isn t just aoc. you can see the awful spectacle of unmasked and free elites served as they dine or celebrate or shop by masked working americans nearly everywhere these days.
