DEATH SPIRAL

we live in an era of profound cognitive dissonance
ruled by a gang of bigots, thugs, and habitual liars
we resist
rebelling against a looming fascist order

our social system is in a death spiral
the catastrophe of climate change and forced migration becomes more visceral with each passing season

we face the threat of new wars
while still mired in the toxic debris of old ones.

the nepotistic ineptitude of 45 brings us close to an existential crisis
either we build power to transform this sick system
bringing regime change home at last

or the craven elites governing our polity will be the harbingers of certain death
there is still hope–and we have subterranean energy and magic on our side
but the clock is ticking–and the death spiral of delusional omnipotence haunts our global human tribe
