Know that a majority of the “leaders” people are looking to for salvation care for little more than popularity contests and their personality cults.

These people are staring at themselves and their followers in the mirror with egotism and vanity as the world burns around them.
Some have built up their followings by talking about how the world is burning.

They’ve got all of the rhetoric to speak to the fire, but no concrete methods to share for how we can put the fire out, or practice.

What’s worse is that most of them aren’t even looking for methods.
Ella Baker and many others tried to tell us over and over again.

The “stan culture” paired with (and exacerbated by) the individualistic designs of these new digital mediums through which we communicate have the potential to distract us into our demise.

If we are unable to re-evaluate the ways in which we can reorient our social relations (on many levels), our fate will rest within the hands of a few who – blinded by their own vanity and short-sightedness – have no real regard for the betterment or survival of the human species.
