16. People see it already. The larger danger that risks
Sat Dec 9, 2023, 07:58 PM
Dec 2023

too late territory is a mass unwillingness to fess to it being on the move and at most talking about "fevers" to break and "understanding".

It is here now, stop counting elements and worrying about precise terminology and just stop the threat to life, liberty, equality under the law, self determination. justice, broad prosperity or looking out for the least amongst us.

If any of those things even vaguely ring any bells as being important then it is all bullshit aside and stop this.

We are not reactionaries and must never become such but we have to get out of our heads a little more.
Deliberations at least need to be focused on actions rather than definitions and political theories.

There is a time to be visceral.

Don't save it for a comeback.

Win now and save a whole lot of misery, death, hell, and high but dank water .
