AND WHAT IF WE ALL JUST TOLD THE TRUTH?

That equity is easy; it’s just never been a priority.

That poverty is manufactured to keep the wealthy at the top.

That homelessness is a policy choice.

That the economy isn’t complex; it’s controlled and manipulated.

That you can’t afford a home, because the rich are hoarding them.

That hunger persists because capitalism doesn’t see feeding people as valuable.

That supermarkets exploit us, because food is a business, not a right.

That ecological collapse continues because stopping it threatens someone’s bottom line.

That billionaires exist because exploitation is legal and encouraged.

That we don’t live in democracies - we live under oligarchies dressed up as freedom.

That the system gaslights you, every time it blames you for the struggle it created.

That you can’t self-improve your way out of structural oppression.

AND THE BIGGEST LIE???

That nothing can change.

The truth...

Redistribute wealth.
Reclaim power.
Resource the people, not the elite.

It isn’t complicated.
It’s just constantly blocked by the top.

LET'S START TELLING THE TRUTH.

@Climatehistories Exactly! The root cause of our current issues lies in capitalism and its systemic need for exponential growth on the basis of limited resources, its ruthless path to exploiting nature and people over capacity for the individual profit or benefit of just a hanful of people. This has to end! We need a different way of life! We can't afford billionaires anymore! #SystemChange #TaxTheRich

I wrote this piece less than a month ago. It is haunting now in entirely new ways beyond how it was then to write it, in the midst of apocalypses that had already occurred and were underway.

"The apocalypse arrived a while ago, it's just not evenly distributed."
