Question Shit is changing in the world... the collective is rageful. Anyone got any ideas coming through for them?

[illBaround]

I've been feeling heavily that the world is changing quite fast in this time. I am pretty young (21) and honestly have not experienced much massive change in the world. To me, it feels as though the culture regarding (or due to) the government is coming to a tipping point. We all seem angry (often times at each other) and no one really seems supported right now. Maybe this isn't new but maybe it is a tipping point...? Just looking for other minds and people to bounce these feelings and thoughts off of. Let me hear what is running through your mind... pleasant, unpleasant, plans/ideas for community/collective growth, etc....

a vast thrumming like 8 boilers in the bowels of a ship

But...hey baby. Can you dig your man?

The Second Coming​

BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

The book Capitalist Realism has shifted my perspective a fair bit, how we get boxed into this fixed, narrow view of what society even is. Then you go to like a squat, intentional community, ecovillage, farmstead, village, mountain, monastery, hut, anything thats in a bubble

And it shows you, just how caught up in our idea of grandeur we are, how we think we are the center of the universe, like gods. We are just a drop in the ocean, in terms of effect
Its not that we are collapsing (as people, as community) its capitalism thats being slowly erroded by the new generations that are no longer disillusioned with the stage, this matrix. I mean you are one of them 😁

Capitalism could completely collapse and a self sustainable remote place wouldnt even have to know, for years. If no one new arrived and no one left and re-entered then it would actually stay in a bubble indefinitely. Like those remote tribal societies that dont give a shit about us and our games, they just live life..

And the world is changing, but if you look at history were actually in a quiet period 😂😅 again gives you perspective of just how insanely radical our recent history is
we take it for granted but a single generation ago, we were using letters and landline phones, our grandparents witnessed the invention of television
and now we are here talking on a small device that literally holds the entire worlds knowledge... so yeeeeaaah
🤷
