Thank you. Since the "pandemic" authoritarianism set in in our state, we've been organizing against it. But what is missing is, as you say, a vision that goes beyond the idiotic duopoly politics. John Steppling and others talk about a lack of imagination... and I think that's correct--even among us dissenters the massive massive 24/7 propaganda stops intelligent thought. Now, with this fool US government, we might not even have time to feel our way forward. But I'm not defeatist, I'm going to keep on thinking & trying.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment Lorie! John Steppling is right about a lack of imagination. It’s being overwhelmed by the officially sanctioned 24/7 wired spectacle, which is the real font of disinformation. But I suspect an enormous number of folks such as you & I are going to be difficult to keep down if we survive this nuclear powered pandemic regime.

Don't hold back Mike. Tell us how you really feel about Biden;) Thanks for another excellent piece. I've been searching in vain for context with respect to the Russian "invasion" and this post was very timely. How long before you get labeled a Putin sympathiser?
Here’s a BBC piece from 3 years ago on the rise of a neo-Nazi far right movement & militia in Ukraine, just as Putin said. Putin is a killer, but in many ways, he’s less detached from reality than the G7 leadership, especially Biden, who is dangerously unhinged.
