This is a well-worded and highly accurate analysis of current politics, religion, media, electoral misconduct, and the corruption battering the U.S. populace at this moment. The divisive climate is being heightened to the highest degree. Pushed to a precipice with no way to stop 'the fall of an empire' as you so aptly described in your previous social commentary essay. These exact crises plaguing our American cousins, were born of and exacerbated by capitalism and other 'isms'. The fabric of Canadian politics, media, electoral misconduct, harmful policies, etc. is so deeply and similarly afflicted. Especially considering we share adjacent stolen lands polluted by the same greedy policies, with the same pretense of protecting democracy from the targeted scapegoats. Class war and the masses turning on each other is their intent as a government. War mongers and fear mongers. Mass incarceration is their vision and solution to control the fall-out. So the people will either 1) snap out of our divisive patterns to fight our real enemy the fascist oligarchy; or 2) since we are a mirror image, then our twin sovereign empires will take that epic tumble...one after the other. Perhaps that is the only way to start rebuilding since we historically do not seem to learn lessons well from other empires falling, regardless of close proximity. The stove has blistered them painfully we see - but we still have to turn up the burner to the same degree?! It's beyond me. Until we reject fascism & fight for a fair world for ALL in solidarity! - LF
