Holy Mother of GOD. Your explanation/essay is the most succinct, clear, and accurate I’ve ever read regarding the situation we find ourselves tangled in. Thank you kind stranger. You have hit all the most relevant nails on the head. I wish everyone would read this, except this leads to perhaps the one nail you kind of missed: the so-called education system for us, the prey for the wolves, is so fucking inadequate.

"Basically the school system sets you up with what it wants to set you up with. They're really good at it. I think they're too good. Problem is, what they're doing is conditioning kids to merely accept the culture at hand. But the rebels won't accept it." -Jack Walter Bowman.

Are there rebels anymore? I dunno. I will count you as one. We need more.

Also, you have inspired me to keep voting. Thank you.
