It doesn't really have much to do with my reality. It's like, I know bad weather is coming and I'm doing my best to prepare for the storm, but I'm not going to go outside and shout at the clouds hoping they turn around or give my life savings to a witch doctor who claims he can fix it.
If someone comes along and demonstrates the will and capacity to stop this from going where it's obviously going, that's great. I'm on board. But I see no evidence of that. Just a lot of big talk from internet tough guys and a very small handful of noble-minded but ultimately ineffectual people trying to do things "the right way". (Real) journalists like Glenn, politicians like Rand Paul. It's not enough, it won't be enough, and it's time to accept that.
Most of the interesting parts of history are stories of bad shit happening. We had a lull for a good couple of decades through the 80s and 90s there where it seemed like the last wave of bad shit was behind us and mistook that for the new normal. It's back. I've made peace with that. I'm not going to fret about it, just going to try to be ready for it. That's all I can do.
