    It’s very important to understand that the people we are currently giving power want us to feel doomed, hopeless, powerless, disassociated, confused, angry, hateful, and disconnected from the rest of humanity.

    The people wielding power over us want to dominate every aspect of the human experience by putting us all into bubbles.

    They want us all to be divided in a manner similar to how language once divided us in the past…and they have a litany of tools and strategies to bring this about — e.g. with AI, social media, algorithms that dictate what we see, partisan media, anti-science denialism, the use of religion and spirituality as a vehicle to manipulate broad groups of people, and so forth.

    The people in power aren’t truly winning, but they are convinced they will survive society collapsing unscathed and firmly in power. Don’t let them believe that they have already won and give them reasons to rest easy with your defeat and doomerism (or more accurately; your passivity and subservience).
