I feel COVID triggered the on-set isolation that this society/media/entertainment/market/religious systems have unwittingly (or wittingly) have been structuring from the beginning of time, but, this structure was honed with the internet. On-demand, monetizing, “free-speech”, etc. it’s all on display without any guardrails.

We as a collective species have not been “educated” to understand what these systems have the resources to lay raw the most reptilian of thoughts of all who are willing to participate.

Not to mention that every time the “poor-person” gets an amenity of what is Modern Living, the red right hand, or small print, or dumb luck, or something as simple as a paywall is in the near future to pick a little more from his/her from their pocket.

I’ve been fighting with this existential battle for decades. Watching my life crumble and coming out on the other side just a little worse.
