If you’re not angry…
You should be; but at what?
Up front, a thank you to Andre Sevenius Nilsen
If anger wasn’t useful, it wouldn’t exist. This is the secret of the universe, BTW (If something isn’t useful to its future, it won’t continue to exist). This story is really in response to a question about my ‘feeeeelings’ in this time of Collapse, but as I was answering the question, I realized it’s not my answer alone. It belongs to anyone who just can’t sort out whether to stay, shoot or shit. Are we going to try and predict the crapshow that our bullies have cultured on the bottom of the milk tank of decay, or are we going to become living matter again, working with the people we know to live our lives and ignore any calls for “progress”, “security” and worst of all, “The Economy”?
The media loves the fracking Economy: and it sure loves fracking us.
So, moving on to the story, the response/question was, “Yeah, I have trouble “committing to the end of the world” as you nicely put it. Or, rather, really internalize our predicament. It’s like I can rationally recognize it (hence these posts), but my body doesn’t feel it. It’s like I can’t really really really believe it. Strange conflict.
Is it something similar that you feel?”
