in the time remaining, to help us understand how the man-made system of capitalism will lead to the extinction of our human species, and so many others.
We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

How Can You Tell Whether Russia Has Invaded Ukraine?
This is an excellent introduction to Orlov's counter-attack on mainstream media's ridiculous propaganda that is being endlessly repeated so that most Americans believe it. I continue to be absolutely shocked at the extent of the lies being fabricated by the ruling One Percent.
