This appalling silence -- the mute submissiveness of a population reduced to self-obsessed moral imbecility (which as you say is the result of neoliberalism) -- is precisely why I am convinced the Christonazi conquest is forever. We the People are now We the Victims and will soon be either We the Slaves or We the Dead. And because our victimization is protected by thermonuclear adaptation of Hitler's Better Dead Than Red policy -- the sure knowledge the U.S. government will destroy the world rather than surrender -- there will be no liberation from without. Christonazism will thus rule at least until modern civilization is no more, and more probably until our entire species is extinct. Having no rational hope of victory, those of us who dare resist must learn to do so from the mindfulness that defined the valiant defenders of Fortress Brest, their defiance of Absolute Evil a final assertion of humanitarian love and personal honor.
Thank you, Carrie. Were we neighbors, we'd no doubt also be friends. In response here is a link to the film "Bretskaya Krepost," which tells the true story of those defenders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw3mDJ0qdp0
The water is so damn deep and dark these days. As the philosopher Dory tells us, "Just keep swimming." Corny, I realize, but some days I am reduced to animated encouragement.
Take care and keep writing. You're doing it right.

Loren, I love your comments. They make me smile in our shared bleakness, but also for your references. I had to look up Fortress Brest.

Very kind of you to remember, friend.
