Like, I wake up and see my flowers. Some bees. It's a nice sunrise. I open the news and it's just one big collapse of the west. Fascism is rapidly coming up. I'm in the middle of it but I still need to go to work to keep the make believe that is our society going. War might be imminent. Whether that's with Russia or the US.

And yet here we are, collectively pretending everything is fine.

I personally believe that people are way over predicting how fast things will progress. We’ve been on this path for a very long time and historically it is incredibly slow in progression. I just don’t think we are going to see mass change say anything even within 10 years. Fundamentally Trump’s policies just truly aren’t that different from what came before. That’s not to say the collapse isn’t happening, because it is, I just feel like there are many overzealous estimates as to when we will see the final end days of capitalism and the current order.
