Pre-Trump47 I was in the first camp. I’m not going to lie about how long it took me to figure it out. It was always obvious that the system was broken, but I’ll admit that for a long time I was foolish enough to believe the system worked well enough that it was worth trying to fix, that the fundamentals were sound and there was enough good there to want to save it.
Recent events have shown and continue to show me how naive I’ve been, none of this is an accident, it’s all part of the poker game and we’re all putting in most of the chips that keep it going whether we know it or not. And I have to be thankful that Russia, China, USA, Israel, Europe, and even my own country’s governments have made this all so abundantly clear that even I (and hopefully a lot of other people) can finally see it. I’m joining the resistance. Fuck the system and all the crooked people involved in it, it’s time for a cyberpunk revolution.
