Thank you for this vocal and succinct piece. “We must stop hoping for conscience in the corridors of empire” this is what the under developed nations who had realized the importance of liberty in its true form have been saying and telling even to their own citizens; to not be misled by propaganda and false promises of the so called civilized progress and prosperity, now for decades.
Absolutely brilliant thought piece. It is heartening to see the thoughts I cannot gather or articulate put into words so crystal clearly as this.
I have that a lot too. I feel it in my gut and the words get stuck. Thank you Noel
"we must stop asking for decency from people who have none left."
"We must turn toward each other. We must feed each other, shelter each other, defend each other. We must build the world after this one burns."
Exactly. Thank you for this post. I just don't see enough stark clear truth like this on Substack or Wordpress. And I need to read it.
