Hello from jumble.social How is everyone doing on this fine September Monday ?

“Upon the plain, there rushed forth and high Shadows at the dead of night and mirrored in the skies Far, far away beyond might of day And there lay the land of the dead of mortal cold decay.”

Turning away from public institutions and public matters is leaving them in the hands of people who thirst for power, the last people you want running the show. In our circles, there’s a big tendency to “opt out” from the current system and start fresh somewhere else and despite the allure, this will weaken us. Get that law degree, join your state council, get that engineering degree and become an officier in the army. Make friends from all circles of life, even those you disagree with. Nothing will be fixed by abandoning things, it will only make it worse.
