Arguably, it already is barbarism. But many times before, there have been times as barbaric or more than this, and at a certain point even people in reactionary areas like Bavaria, in the most impoverished rural areas of the world like say 1930s China, in Latin American barrios and indeed even disadvantaged communities inside of the centers of capital and empire have eventually said enough’s enough and at least attempted to throw off their shackles - or even earlier, if you count the various medieval and early modern era revolts by peasants, indigenous people, etc.

Things are bleak now, and they might get bleaker, but giving into depressive fatalism is not the solution.
