There's a lot to unpack in this article.
Naomi Klein: ‘What They Want Is Absolutely Everything'

What does Elon Musk think it means to be the richest person in the world? How does that change you? One of the ways that it changes people's brains is you believe the rules shouldn't apply to you. You believe you should be able to act like a king. And when you can't - when you're told by the state you actually have to follow these rules, or do other things - it ignites rage. And we're in that rage.

We underestimated the rage that inspired. So we're in a counter-revolution. And it's hard to understand, because these people have everything. But what they want is beyond that. They want to not be accountable to anyone. Because what they want is absolutely everything.

The rise of end times fascism

Whew. That's a really sobering read, and Klein is one of the few pundits who grasps, at a fundamental level, why "all this" is happening.

I'm less optimistic about the chances of countering end times panic, at all levels of society. We are in the beginning stages of collapse, and I believe the entire house of cards has to fall before anyone can begin re-building.
