Sometimes, when I am feeling good, I just think it's all the bullshit collapsing.
Just decades, centuries of bullshit being laid bare in an ultra connected ultra fast world.
We all know the people in charge are rich assholes who've had the game rigged for them by history, money, and fawning sycophants who won't hold anyone accountable.
Feels weird to wake up to the fact we have been fed a line of bullshit forever, but now it is just too painfully obvious for anyone to ignore and pretend anymore while the world burns under our technology.
The reality is they're still afraid of us, so don't give up yet. Almost all of their power comes from our anxieties and a paper currency they've reinforced, but you need to remember they are the ones building bunkers.
What keeps me going is knowing that the fear of having their wealth taken absolutely destroys their happiness. There are so many invisible prosperous and successful people WHO KNEW WHEN TO QUIT and go fishing.
The sad monsters who won’t have the epiphany they can easily afford to indulge need intervention for their sake and ours.
Amen.
