This timeline is a bad one. We need father time to make the old in power fade away so we can attempt to fix what the worst generation has broken.
I feel like there is a limitless supply of the people you are waiting to fade away.
We just need to help those people fade a little faster then.
Those positions of power exist to serve a function in the machinery of capital, which means that even the best-intentioned people filling them only have the ability to act in it's (and their) immediate interests. Unfortunately the system isn't fundamentally broken, it's excelling beyond all initial expectations-at what it's actually designed for. Things are now breaking down because the various contradictions and feedback loops of it's destructive economic methods are piling up, like a huge lobster suffocating under the weight of it's shell.
