A WAY TO EMBRACE SOULS
An undated version of my Sustack from March 2022: Less Covid, More War
As we seemingly just watch the Neoliberals and their partners in crime, the American Neo-Conservatives and all their ultra-rightwing thugs in the UK and around the world day by day rape, rob and kill people, commit genocide, yes GENOCIDE, while somehow it all begins to blend into the background, becoming the new noise, the new normal.
At some point, being tired of having our tax money pay for their weapons, being emotionally exhausted by being made complicit in their horror, we will rise up and insist that the Neoliberals and their ilk retreat into some dark space (perhaps the cages where they are keeping people in Gaza or on the Tex/Mex boarder), leaving us to heal the dying earth and our troubled brothers and sisters in Ukraine, in Palestine, Somalia and the other 130 or so armed conflicts around the world.
In our troubled silences, we will wait for the insects to hum and birds to sing again.
Or will we allow the Neoliberals to continue to burn our forests, to scar our earth with their toxins, to continue to carve away our mountain tops and to starve our children and kill other’s children while we play into distraction with their digital 5G trinkets?
