    I feel like it’s not hyperbole to say that we’re witnessing the fall of American hegemony, at least, if not the fall of the US entirely.

    As a Canadian, it feels like we’re only a few steps behind, too. The QAnon Freedumbers are still waving flags from their trucks and celebrating bullying 2SLGBTQ+ youth into suicide. And the political party that attends their rallies is going to form a majority government here next year.

    The next few decades are going to be a wild ride. On the far side of this mess, hopefully, we’ll find a stable equilibrium that doesn’t concentrate all wealth on the planet among the top 1%ers.
