I am not a conspiracy theorist. I do not believe the Republicans and Dems are working together to make things worse. I am not a fool. I simply recognize that as inflation grows and wages remain relatively static, fewer and fewer people will be able to get by on just one job or even multiple jobs, and eventually, there will come a time when people will earn so little that they will simply stop seeking employment and find other ways to support themselves. This is what is currently happening in America. To deny this objective fact is to engage in utopianism. I simply recognize the historical reality that all civilizations and societies will someday collapse, and I draw parallels between the levels of inequality and unrest in modern America to Tzarist Russia and the French Monarchy before their respective revolutions, acknowledging the fact that if nothing is done, America will meet a similar fate. I also realize that every action I take as an individual can only serve to hasten that eventual outcome because I cannot, by my force of will, change the course of history. Only fools and liars say they can do such things. The direction of society is controlled by the collective subconscious of the people within it. It is nothing more than the prejudices and biases of millions of people past and present perpetuating themselves through ingrained hatred and ignorance. the people cast out and rejected by this order will not starve quietly. They will not lie down and watch the people they love die. The downtrodden will lash out and cut the faces of those who spit on them. There is nothing you or I or anyone can do to stop this. The most we can do is help the people around us. build strong, independent, sustainable communities with foundations built on love, empathy, and kindness. communities that can resist oppression and keep as many people safe as possible through this chaotic time. When the dogs of the state, the cops, the military, the FBI, and all their infernal siblings come to spit on us, we will cut their faces, because we cannot starve quietly, we can not abandon hope. It is against our nature as living things not to seek our own survival. This is not good or evil. Good and evil are lies meant to trick the foolish. These things simply are. we are the outcasts and freaks you tried to throw away and our numbers are growing. We are the mushrooms on the corpse of your society letting you know it's already dead, and we will outlast you, because entropy is our mother, and she loves her children.
