Thanks for sharing this piece, Chance. Some of it was hard to understand as writing style overtook clarity, I think. Or maybe that’s my own misunderstanding :) I’ve been collecting articles to put together a writing (or series of writings, or perhaps videos) on the current political climate. I particularly like that quote that you shared as it’s a quite illustrative prediction. I may integrate that into my work.
