So many ifs. People forget (or never notice) that taking a decision while in a good mood and feeling well doesn't mean at all you are going to feel the same while carrying out that decision (this is why sales people make you feel good and why manipulative advertising works). Sure, in the tech bonanza when recruiters pile up on your email inbox to get you in, in the richest country on the planet were even the thought process is comodified, things will look pretty sweet and easy going. Until they don't, your whole existence hurts and there is no end in sight... that's a really nasty way of understanding what privilege means and I think some people might experience it.
Nor would I say I'm 100% ready, just calm enough that I don't have that many hooks, all I worry about is my altar pieces and my books.
I wrote this yesterday in reply to the comment of the democrats holding it out until the next term and decided not to post it but here it is:
"Take this with a grain of salt, but I was feeling something moving here and there during the pandemic and then it felt as if, metaphorically speaking, we took an anesthetic, went on and it flared up as wars in Ukraine and the Israel-Gaza conflict without addressing the main issue, if we see the human world as an organism that is.
The way you put it though made me think if this impression I've got is the political sphere managing the damage and seeing who will take the blame once something bursts. When the soldier Aaron Bushnell protested by lighting himself on fire and more recently Maxwell Azzarello in NYC, one of the things I wondered in mild shock was: what is going on in the side of politics we don't see publicly lately for people to sacrifice their lives once they see how bad it is? And does it mean inflammation is getting close to showing as disease? If something happens in the economic or political spheres then at this point some people already know. What will they decide to blow up to cover their tracks? I don't know, but I sure hope they get caught"
