Agreed. Fantastic piece.
To see how far we’ve fallen, look at how many people here can’t even grasp the point of it.
Everything’s a mess. All of our institutions are broken beyond repair. Anything we were raised to trust has been corrupted and turned against us. Most people in any position of power almost anywhere are either corrupt or incompetent or a combination of both.
Climbing out of this hole won’t be easy and may well be impossible. I think she’s right that we have to create our way out of it.
And they all, the quiet ones, live their lies of invisible anxiety, shadows of the lives that might have been.
They die in silence, not screaming against their oppressors but acquiescing to the heel upon their head as their due.
There are some, a few, not many, who seek to be more, to struggle against the tyranny of complacency.
We need brave souls who will wake up to the horror that surrounds us and say in a loud and death defying voice, “no more.”
