But the partisans on the other side (super-rich? or whatever) are thinking the same way. They're sure they'll be overcome no matter how they resist. (I think.)
The joke's on all us naked little monkeys, isn't it?

For multiple reasons we shouldn’t wait for the press or military to acknowledge that our current representative democracy is a sham. First, they’re institutionally designed to mesh with the old broken system and will need to be led out of it.
Second, we need to start practicing self-rule, learning the ropes, working out the kinks, even if at first there’s not a lot of real power exercised. Others are in a much better position to speak to this than I am. But I do want to learn and participate.
This is me trying to be upbeat and hopeful, by the way. 😆
Thanks for that clarification! When we're down in a deep, dark hole (as all of us are now, whether we know it or not) we sound like Beelzebub belching smoke from a volcano, or, at best, like Marvin the insufferably neurotic robot. But there is reason to be upbeat and hopeful, as you say.
Borrowing from a "Pogo" cartoon, "we're surrounded by insurmountable opportunities". 🥴
@oldclumsy_nowmad I like “insurmountable opportunities.” Eventually they’ll overcome us no matter how we resist or try to disbelieve.
