Our laws and our governments are failing us. Poverty is rampant: education is expensive, housing is expensive. Our planet is slowly becoming irreparably harmed within our lifetimes thanks to climate change driven by the appetites of the rich. Greed is driving inflation of basic necessities. Greed and sheer arrogance is wrecking many of our distractions, like streaming video (Netflix’s subscription nonsense, and YouTube’s 3 strikes against ad blocking), social media (Reddit), and so much more. LGBTQ+, Indigenous peoples, immigrants, PoC, women, among many others, are being dehumanized as wedge issues for the political right for their and the rich’s personal gain.

If pitchforks and torches come out - they’re well earned.
