pushing ever increasing amounts of more and more complicated chemicals into the atmosphere and food chain, that are changing humans at the genetic level.
I find this the most infuriating. I've already accepted defeat when it comes to my air quality here in Bushwick, Brooklyn. But I do my very best to ensure an organic food supply from reputable brands or local farmers. These are the pollutants I am most worried about.
war has been repositioned in the economy as a monetized industry.
This is the worst time line. War can no longer be used as a means of redistribution of power. Instead it just consolidates more power in the hands of the arm dealers and business conglomerates. War will be the tool that elites use to control the population as they set countries to destroy each other. We really should be waging a war on wealth disparity.
people say they want "freedom", but what they really want is a way to get what they want.
This is another uncomfortable truth. I would happily relinquish freedom for ease of life. I've already made some of these sacrifices based on living in a big city and working in the public institution of education. I rely on the state to pay my bills, wholly unable to support myself from the land or my skills alone. Troubling times to consider what I would be able to accomplish on my own if forced to survive without my two monthly paychecks.
