We have hit a perfect logjam which was a long time in coming and yet entirely foreseeable.
Climate change, the loss of jobs to automation (AI), income inequality and the nature of human relationships and families have all met at a crisis point which threatens to derail many societies.
The change in the old world order has scared the living daylights out of stupid conservatives who are in panic mode. Their antidote has been to bear down even more by refuting science and generally being all around bad eggs.
The revenge of the white boomer has been to stall as much as possible what was inevitably coming.
The diversification of the world has hit hard. Immigration patterns and changes in family dynamics has meant a loss of power for white men who thought they owned everything. With that order threatened it was time to elect more right leaning politicians who would restore social order.
It didn't work.
Trumpism has been an abject failure largely thanks to the deception of the working class and the flow of capital moving upwards towards the already wealthy.
The experiments tried in Brazil and Hungary didn't work either because culture war smoke screens ultimately don't work when working people's lives grow progressively worse in the process.
Thus we are facing a multi-faceted problem which needs addressing before the world can begin a new era of relative prosperity.
Making villains out of visible minorities hasn't worked and people who can't afford basic necessities are tired of hearing the term "woke" from idiot online influencers being paid handsomely by billionaire capitalists.
Time has run out for people who thought this plan would work and the next few years will be very chaotic.
Just ask the people living next door to data centers. But you'll need to speak loudly if you want them to hear you.
