“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.”
― Antonio Gramsci
This tension has been embedded in the United States since the beginning. A nation supposedly founded upon the idea that all people are created equal but built upon genocide, enslavement, racism, misogyny and the destruction of land and water for the sake of profit cannot but embody this cognitive dissonance. It is a long, long labor. The new world is still struggling to be born, and it is a fundamentally different world than that envisionde by the signatories of the Constitution.
Now is the time of heroes.
YOU are the Midnight Commander.
