So many wise, rational, empathetic voices have been silenced by both the reactionaries and the corporate / fossil fuel / Blue MAGA / Zionist establishment. Haven’t said much, but I’ve been watching. They think it’s a win, that change is finally dead, but there’s another way of seeing it. Perhaps those voices were all that were holding it all together, and now that the mainstream is no longer worthy of them it will face the systemic consequences of its own making. The day will come.
For my part it’s even simpler. Choosing someone else over me, willfully misrepresenting me to others for some gain, disregarding my council, attempting to interfere with or sabotage my affairs, demeaning me and reducing me to a construct of what I supposedly am rather than what I have or haven’t done, these are irreversible, permanent decisions. Trust is the most expensive currency, and forgiveness too expensive in this world. Though we meet again after a thousand years, all will be remembered.
As I’ve so often said, I will sit back and say nothing, do nothing, while it all burns. That’s what you wanted. That’s what you will receive. Do not ask for help or support. Do not even hope for empathy. This polity, this world, is apparently not for me or my kind. So be it. We are separate souls, now, on separate journeys. Good luck.
