Whew. The last couple of months have felt like a few years. I feel more tired than I normally do.
There is a large and, honestly, frightening change happening in America. I keep thinking to myself This is moving really fast, isn't it? It seems like the USA changed overnight.
But really, I guess it wasn't all that fast. It's been brewing in the background for many, many years. I guess I just didn't want to see it. So much anger. So much dark money being pooled around to keep people angry at each other. Easier to control. Like a game.
And then I realized that it is just game to the ones who pull the strings. Billionaires. The wealthy who see themselves above everyone else. The worshippers of greed and gold. The undoing of us all.
I used to think that they would at least provide some push-back to fascism. I mean how do you maintain wealth without an economy that provides that money into your accounts? And then I realized, too late, that they knew that they already had enough money. They could afford to buy the wholesale destruction. They no longer needed us to keep the wheels of the economy turning.
You ever play a strategy game? If the game goes on long enough, you eventually have enough resources to do whatever the fuck you want to do. You can blow it all on useless things, destroy your base and build a new one, and still have a surplus left over. That's where we are now.
The rich have reached the endgame where the resources are already there and they can just finally end the game.
I hope you have a good evening and a good night.
