And therefore we don't need any compassionate solutions, but just rely upon ourselves. We are due for a correction all right-- after 40 years of this "masculine" self-reliance, we need to return to caring for our society and our planet too or we won't have either. It seems to me politicians and people in general have plenty of resolve. It's where they employ it that is the problem. It's about a few people with great resolve wanting more wealth and power for themselves and less for everyone else, and deceiving people that if we all think that way, then we'll all succeed, or else that solutions just trickle down from those few "job creaters".

Agreed in full, but a hard sell to the very people most likely to believe in Market Magic ™. The scary part: our very own private propaganda machines (FoX, OANN and others) have brainwashed a huge percentage of the population. Who needs a Manchurian Candidate to infiltrate and rig things from above when the sheep already march in lockstep with the wolves?

Attrition by natural means will take decades, and we lack the decades to spare.
