It’s beyond ghoulish that people are suffering and dying while the wealthy and politicians sit around talking about the sanctity of patents and intellectual property.
What’s currently happening internationally with the pandemic, as America’s media largely turns to “post-pandemic life” and ignores disturbing, tragic trends, not to mention as new variants are created which could just wipe us out, is really, really grotesque.
At some point, whether it’s with the pandemic, climate crisis, economic interdependence, or the growing international coalition against democracy and human rights, we’re going to have to realize something very critical: we all live together or we all die together.
The myth of American Exceptionalism, “First World” hubris and cruelty, this brittle and inhuman economic system, these things are literally destroying us, and if we don’t reject them and find something better the writing on the wall is very, very clear.
