I could give a shit about tradition… Newsflash, we don’t exist in a world where this is even appropriate or rational. The more time goes by the more I wish they would just push the button and let everything reset itself with us dumb apes no longer in the picture.
Personally I’m excited that we kinda are hitting the reset button. It absolutely isn’t a guarantee but it’s closer than it’s ever been to working.
Capitalism is the attempt to keep feudalism going and it’s collapsing in on itself. With the speed that technology now moves within a person’s lifetime we can see how the usual tricks just don’t work as well. We’ve also got baseline regulations keeping things like lead out of the air and giving at least some basic human rights to people who historically would be kicked around by even the better societies. Rightwing parties are stronger and meaner because they’re afraid but their bases shrink even with the normally unifying nationalist rhetoric being pushed. Fuck even Israel is finally being told off and Hamas is being treated far closer to rebels than terrorists which, considering all the precedent set, is pretty extra wild!
We are moving forward. It doesn’t mean that there aren’t people fighting to hold us back but it’s happening anyway and will continue to happen so long as we keep standing up for ourselves.

unfortunately the only thing that’ll be reset is the middle and lower classes. The 1% will survive and be the ones to reshape whatever happens after.
Sir this is a whale meat shop.
