Between pipelines getting jammed, the slow-motion general strike, protests everywhere all the time, Sheikh Jarrah, mass shootings every day, new covid strains in India, and just the general background noise of life getting worse and worse for almost everyone on the planet, it feels like someone tied a brick to the big “accelerate the contradictions” lever.

Anyone else felt this way lately?

I really can’t tell if the empire is actually just so deep into collapse that all of the facades are falling away or if I’m just old enough and aware enough to see past them now
