The old order is visibly coming apart. The manufactured crises are reaching saturation where people become numb rather than mobilized. The promise that “if we just obey harder, believe longer, sacrifice more, everything will work out” rings hollow because it always rings hollow in the end. What emerges from this collapse depends on what we build before it’s complete. If we spend our time fighting each other, a new strongman will step in to “restore order.” If we spend our time trying to reform the system, we simply delay its failure while it extracts more wealth and freedom. But if we spend our time building alternatives—real alternatives based on voluntary cooperation and private property—we create the possibility of something genuinely different. This isn’t a call to passivity. It’s a call to redirect your energy away from defending the indefensible and toward building the possible. Stop trying to win arguments with people trained to see you as an enemy. Build something they can join instead. Stop waiting for the right leader or perfect policy. Build the world you want to live in, one transaction, one conversation, one community at a time. That is the only revolution worth having. That is the only one that actually works.

A system built on coercion needs division like oxygen. It must invent internal enemies to justify its dominance, to keep people dependent on its “protection.” When citizens are busy fighting one another—over politics, culture, race, or faith—they are not asking the fundamental question: why should anyone rule them at all?
