The task of our generation is to hold within ourselves the juxtaposition of a tragic realization that we are living in an age of profound decline, and a simultaneous joyful realization that within us there is a capacity to repair and begin again.

Actually, the answer to problems can be found in a simple solution de-growth and downshift...

We won’t accomplish anything if no one challenges the duopoly.

Decline or extinction? Important distinction to know.

The plutocrats and corporate lobbyists who completely control the corrupt leadership in both parties will not suffer the least trouble if we hold within ourselves this tragic juxtaposition.

Biden is our Brezhnev. What we need next is an American Gorbachev to guide us to a peaceful dissolution

Decline of what, from when? I am sympathetic to the view that things are not right. However, I am unsure when you think they were right? Iraq war? 911? Cold War? Vietnam? Nuclear testing? WWII? WW1? Victorian slum cities? Colony/Empire? Mongols/Romans/Comanche. It is the species.

We cannot repair if we don’t get the ever growing government out of our way, they retain power by dividing us against each other.

Seems cyclical to me. Like that FDR social reforms you espouse were merely a compromise to help the US avoid Bolshevism or whatever
