So what are we really advocating for anymore?
I'm just gonna write out the quote because I don't know how to clip videos, nor do I care to learn:
[Trump's Terrifying Admission; 14:34-15:51]
"Most people in the west think that we're more or less at the end of times. Not necessarily in a biblical sense but in the sense that we have arrived at the conclusion of the forces that have acted on us, that we're entering into a new, frightening, scary era of history that is going to be chaotic and bad and dangerous and harmful and destructive and possibly apocalyptic, and that nobody can really change those things at this point.
And I think it is... unfortunately a correct belief, and I also think that it is a very dangerous belief because the way you change it, the way you make the world receptive to positive change is by increasing the number of people who both believe in changing it and feel they have the power to do so. The reason the world feels like it's on a collision course right now is because there's not enough momentum or political will or energy to change that fact. And if there was that energy, if there was that will, then maybe it would be changeable. But as long as there isn't, there won't be..."
Okay... so then where is the disconnect here? We're supposed to believe the futility of our situation and yet act as though we have any influence on achieving greater outcomes? Half the time (but let's be real, most of the time), all evidence points to collapse and recovery so slow that it's practically negligible for the day-to-day of ourselves and our descendants, so why then are we advocating for almost a delusional hopefulness when the outcome is almost certainly the same? Mostly just sounds like a way to kill time at this point.
