wayward solo actor with vague connections to xyz broader network
populace inured to escalating spectacles of violence
satellite state consolidates power. major shocks used to justify expansions of surveillance, military spending, and emergency powers.
x is too horrific to even check in
all outrage, some justified, much racial noise, most violent horrific thing always gets way too much amplification, many problems that I don’t feel I (or anyone there) can personally solve or contribute to in any meaningful way.
can’t solve all of societies problems unfortunately. prefer small communities. understand the modern world will find you. but definitely not seeking that online experience day to day.
need a long hiatus.
life & people are generally great in my experience. more productive lens.
