I thank you for the rant revealing the stark reality/Hunger Games/Soylent Green/ Matrix universe we occupy.
I can agree with your premise, but history shows a very different outcome. While it’s true the old norms of behavior and institutionalized propaganda aren’t working like they used to ...(IF at ALL?);
The outcome is almost the same. Violent revolution: (long overdue). The dismantling of “norms”, and the overthrow of what used to work; (for the masses), and the replacement with a better working model. I’ve been telling my fellow Gen Xers and Boomers that we need to dust off the old Cold War training of post nuclear apocalypse practices, and start taking it seriously and become very conscientious survivors. Our “Golden Years “, (we are learning), is now exposed as the “Big Myth/Lie” that it’s always been. For those who cannot adjust, due to circumstances beyond their immediate control (?), it might be wise to get your affairs in order.
The “New” Order is already HERE and flexibility IS the KEY. Those of us being allowed to stabilize for the moment (?); need to “get real”, and start to live independently and learn to live (out in the open), life as you will be living it then. Those who will not see, or acknowledge that new reality will not survive to nurture and teach the new generations; ( A-C), how precisely to avoid the mistakes and ignorance brought on by believing in fantasies that were never realistically set up to deliver the intended results that were “promised”.
New technology is set to enslave humans: however (?); the next generations do have a realistic chance to recover their independence and freedom and severely cripple the financial, political, economic, and racially supremacist systems that have dictated the course of life on earth for far too long.
I, my partner, and our children, intend to be amongst the survivors, and are now slowly backing away from depending upon this old “system of things” to deliver us any longer.

Well said!
A “...supercontinent of fascism...” is an absolutely correct metaphor for the times. Great piece.
