“Populism is ultimately sustained by the frustrated exasperation of ordinary people, by the cry "I don't know what's going on, but I've just had enough of it! It cannot go on! It must stop!”
― Slavoj Žižek, First as Tragedy, Then as Farce

I fear the day such populism will eventually triumph, but I am confident that at least 200 years remain before such a day is near.

Apocalypticism is a silly excuse to ignore the eternal challenges of daily human existence.

We're all stuck in this together. The system is still screwing the same people it always has, and worshipping those it always has. There is no end in sight.

Accepting this is a prerequisite to discern an appropriate method by which to live, and pursue right.
