The system as it is has numbed us, then would have us believe there’s something wrong with us that we feel numb. To be consciously alive today is to recognize how off things are; the anxiety this causes is not dysfunctional, but functional. As long as corporate profits rather than humanitarian values are the organizing principle of our civilization, people and planet will continue to suffer…. and our civilization will continue to decline. The status quo will not disrupt itself. Fundamental change comes from the people, or it does not come about at all.

When “they say” @marwilliamson is not serious - ask yourself why - who wins when most of the populous is numbed? Who loses when we wake up, rise up, and #disruptthesystem?

I would agree with you except for the false implication that sin is manifest through “them” … the Left has not created a perfect human and the Left is as full of greed, envy, pride, hubris, materialism, hate, lust, jealously, sin as the Right. Your failure to acknowledge this diminishes you to a grifter selling metaphysics to an echo chamber. Do better.

I’m not numb enough to forget you celebrating Joe Biden in 2020.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. —C.S. Lewis

Corporate profits are an issue, yet the takeover of our government/media seems to be more dehumanizing. Corporations can be good when building for the future and today. Corporations squeezing people for profit and hanging on to yesterday are not helping to add hope for the future

Nothing will change until we take on the Military Industrial Complex and its progeny: - the unaccountable Security State - the professional Censorship Authoritarian class - corrupt Post-Imperial Economics, e.g. export domestic policy pain, import productivity of slave labor, etc

You are attempting to do the primary thing that needs to happen. Break the illusion. Systems of illusion are only used when the illusion is intact. One the illusion fails, the output fails. What you are primarily up against, unfortunately, is psychological defense mechanisms in belief systems and the ego in general. People cannot see the world for what it is... without seeing a very different version of themselves as well.
