Does this 4T seem a little 2T-ish to anyone else?

There is NO 2T without a successful 4T before it.

... and hence, our point of departure.  Remember, Germany and Japan, and to a lesser extent Italy and Finland, had failed 4Ts last time.  It's not ideal, but it's not a death sentence either.

As I already pointed out, Germany and Japan were rescued by the USA. Who is going to rescue the USA? And the whole world? ETs?

That's a fair point, but, to my way of thinking, not definitive.  Look at the model autocracies in the world.  All are pushing out the very people they need to succeed ... and those people have to go somewhere.  When does that create a new center mass that becomes a backlash against repression and, frankly, stupidity?  TBD, but not forever.

Again, I feel the undergirding of a 2T that won't feel very 2T when it happens.  There are too many issues waiting to be addressed that affect too many people to ignore.  This may be bottom-up this time.

Much of what you feel must be put off until the 2T, must be done in this 4T. It's time to roll up our sleaves a bit and take some action, not just comment here. Write letters, speak out, donate, be a prophet gray champion. Fulfill our Boomer role. Not by sitting back and wait for a new prophet generation that may never come, or may come too late. Remember the Obama speech. It applies to us too. Change won't happen by waiting for somebody else to do something. The regeneracy started in 2017-2018. It is revving up again. NOW is the time. Mars stationary in Aquarius in the progressed chart of our age. The great planetary returns in the USA. Now. We are the ones we have been waiting for. No excuses. It's OUR time now, as Bill Clinton said in 1993. We frittered it all away during the 3T, arguing over Monica Lewinsky and gay marriage. But 4Ts cannot be escaped. We cannot escape a climate that is breaking down forever within the next 10 years. If you feel too old, then spend some time and energy and get younger.

The more dispirited we are about the prospects for change, the more likely the powerful are likely to maintain their power.
