Our Meaningless Existence Killed the Planet, but We’re Already Dead

We pursued profit and private property, creating nothing while destroying everything. — We leave our mark everywhere we go, sticking flags on the moon, pouring concrete across the earth, scattering plastics in every crevice, and claiming ownership of land that doesn’t belong to humanity. Our species foolishly believed it could conquer its maker, and as reality hurriedly descends upon us, we’ll learn…

The Sadness We Can't Escape

Classism divides us, and we ignore it because we don't want to acknowledge society's poverty and suffering, but we still feel it. — An older woman told me she was so lonely that she'd prefer to be in jail because at least she'd have people to talk to and eat dinner with. The conversation popped into my head while chatting with friends at a restaurant, and I shrugged it off, trying to forget…

The Only Valuable Investment

We don't recognize actual value because we constructed an artificial world and appointed worth to worthless materials. — When consumer spending vanished, stocks crashed, companies folded, production ceased, and financial security withered for nonessential workers. The pandemic stripped the thick coat of fool's gold, exposing the dilapidated framework gluing our economy's artificially manufactured value together, and everyone saw its vulnerability. If the Federal Reserve hadn't jumped in, the…

We Lie to Ourselves to Survive the Dystopian American Life

We live in denial because it’s easier than facing our reality — for now. — There’s a brick wall around my high school. It wasn’t there in the 90s, but school shootings weren’t as prevalent then. I wonder if anyone realizes walls keep people in and out, and they won’t protect us from a broken society because we are the cracks within the foundation, but…

BRICS Emerged to Survive, Not Challenge US Hegemony

The rise of economic blocs and an alternative global financial structure is a matter of survival. — Empires confiscated resource-rich countries' (the Global South) wealth and indebted them with unrepayable loans, holding them hostage and impoverishing them for centuries. Yet, discussions about BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) contemplate its potential success or failure instead of considering that the most populous nations created an economic…

Football Associations Banned Women's Soccer Because it Was Too Popular

Women's sports are endlessly compared to men's, yet they relentlessly receive less finance and resources, which men have never had to fight for. — The image of Brandi Chastain ripping off her jersey after scoring the game-winning goal in the 1999 Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) Women's World Cup championship shootout against China is symbolic. …

The Long, Miserable Descent

Empires aren't forever, and the fall-out will coerce a mass uprising as the US tightens its grip to preserve wealth for the rich. — Nations don't collapse overnight. Incremental attacks over decades slowly degrade society until the final blow ignites unstoppable unrest because people have limits. Governments that fear the public avoid uprisings by providing some goods and services, but the US is fearlessly pushing the boundaries.

The Pandemic Reminded us We’re a Part of Something Bigger Than Ourselves

We have nothing if we don’t have shared experiences and a collective future. — The digital age facilitated the tools to communicate instantly, and television, the internet, and word of mouth disseminated the 2020 World Health Organization's (WHO) pandemic announcement to big cities and remote regions everywhere. Every human, from Seychelles to New Zealand to small indigenous villages in the Andes, collectively realized a…

Who Wants to Model the US?

The shining city on the hill isn't attractive, and all the US bombs and all the US men can't put the nation back together again. — Perhaps there was a time when the world marveled at the US, but that moment is gone if it ever existed. After the USSR collapsed and the US violently won the ideological war (the Cold War), nothing was left but to begrudgingly comply. …

The U.S.' Systematic Repression and Extermination of Anti-Imperialists and Anti-War Activists

The U.S. maintained the Korean and Cold War tactics, killing and silencing dissent to control the world and narrative. — Nazi Germany attempted to extinguish WWII anti-fascists by killing and sending them to concentration camps, but the Nazis couldn't exterminate resistance because liberation struggles never die. The Nazi's defeat freed Europe from fascist reign, but WWII didn't emancipate the world from subjugation, and the war for freedom continued. …
