Good stuff, Greg. I know I have large gaps in my knowledge but I can't believe I hadn't heard of Alex Carey before.

I'm struggling so hard right now with the depression of having to continue living in this society as it is. I mean, what a fucking terror. I truly, truly, truly believed that when something big enough hit westerners in a way to hurt us (or our five year old children's bodies) that people would wake up. That the understanding would come from the same limbic space that the fear propagation and the herding comes from. That there had to be some kind of built-in response that would kick in once the socios reached glutten levels and their centralised operation became apparent. But nope. Class analysis is now just right wingers' paranoid delusions! Huzzah! And I really don't know what to do with this, how to keep going on functionally speaking to my fellow human without the misanthropy and despair destroying me. What happens now? Why haven't we launched effective countermeasures yet, having all the reality on our side? Will we ever? Or is this crop of humans set in stone now? So many questions.

Maybe it's not fixable. Maybe all that can be done now is a sad turning away.
