We Can't Positive Think Our Way Out of This One, Folks

Sometimes it’s the most loving, good-hearted people who see the danger last. Not because they are wrong. But because they never imagined anyone or anything could be this cruel.

By now, most of us know the gist of what's going on. We are entering a very different time. We are in a world of doublespeak, corruption is flaunted, people are sent to international concentration camps in the making. It's the kind of dystopian realities we only previously read about.

The truth is cruel. I wish I could go back to not knowing. Because this darkness has existed since the dawn of time and has been wreaking havoc on our democracy systemically for decades. Heritage foundation, Dark Enlightenment, NAR, sociopathic tech moguls.

There is a very dark and dangerous force that is taken hold in the Whitehouse that has stakes for billions of people globally, and the sooner we look at it head on and realize what what we are up against, the sooner we can take real action.

The U.S. government is not trying to strengthen our country in any sense we’ve ever known that to mean.

They’ve rolled back civil rights won in the 1960s, rescinded long-fought-for women’s rights, and floated loosening child labor laws with overnight shifts

They’ve dismantled agencies meant to protect every day people from predatory corporate exploitation and abuse, advocated for 60-hour workweeks, and are now threatening to send U.S. citizens-prisoners for now—to foreign concentration camps in El Salvador.

There is nothing great about this. It’s class-based eugenics. A systemic elimination of the old, the sick, the disabled, the different, the inconvenient, the dissenters.

They know climate collapse is coming. That’s why they’re closing the door on refugees.

And right when we likely need FEMA and Medicaid the most, they gut them --
because a more desperate population is easier to control. And the ones that aren’t useful for exploitation they’d rather die.

They’re not trying to save us, they’re trying to enslave us.

This isn’t about American greatness. This is about control, consolidating power in a small ruling class, and the only ones left standing are those willing to serve them without question.

They know the U.S. is falling. They’re not trying to stop the collapse, they’re trying to rule the ruins and ensure we won’t survive it unless we submit.

This is the reality we are sitting in. A hostile force has hijacked our government. It’s been decades in the making, and even when it started to show its face, most of us just didn’t believe it possible. But it’s here.

These people know the hey-day of endless growth capitalism is over. What then? Collapse just leaves a vacuum. And history shows that powerful people rush to fill vacuums - usually with something worse.

But if we start now, by:

• Building community
• Detaching from exploitative systems
• Investing in mutual care 
• Reclaiming imagination…

…then collapse becomes a crack in the system, not the end of everything.

We need to act. Now.
