Look people I'm about to leave this world which I have inhabited for these last 67 years, and I'm here to tell you that shit is going off the rails, I am really deeply concerned.
There is a terrible reckoning dead ahead and it won't be any kind of replay of a known historical event - no cattle cars, no guillotines, no napalm. This is insidious and more global; lockdowns, financial larceny, pandemics, mass migrations and extinctions; Infrastructure and support systems overload, civil liberties extinction in the midst of civil rights rising.
I don't know what exactly collapse/implosion looks like but it's coming, and much faster than I ever expected. Systems are on the brink. I expect no return to 'normal'.
This ain't no disco, this ain't no party, this ain't no foolin' around
I can appreciate the realization that this war (and I think we can call it one) cannot be measured by historical events. The information age was short-lived and got subverted to become the misinformation age - having noticed it years ago, I'm not surprised by how things have gotten bad (I did think it'd take another decade, though).
I can't bring myself to be afraid, however, because uncertain risk shouldn't be feared. If I were to fear uncertain risk, I'd never leave the house and still be afraid because it's very easy to break into my home and kill me. I'm just a little stupefied, and deeply concerned about the future of...everyone, I guess.
Possible solutions are looking very grim. What good is anything if a country isn't allowed to remove central banking or otherwise disengage from foreign manipulation?
