But, OK: like every empire built on supremacy, also theirs will collapse under the weight of its own arrogance.

(Whatever. Prepare for the worst.)

Eight years would be enough to reshape the US into an authoritarian monolith, where reversing the damage will take decades.

This isn’t just another “bad administration,”—it’s an extinction-level event in slow motion.

Their only answer to the problems we face, is more force, & as the climate crisis worsens, ecosystems fail, or resources dwindle, they won’t adapt,—they’ll simply militarise.

…weaponising industries (fossil fuels, animal agriculture, AI, social media,) amplifying nationalism & religious supremacy, expanding the military-industrial complex, turning migration into a battlefield, & so on.

Dismantling environmental policies, stacking courts, crushing opposition (also in the EU & other countries,) crushing dissent by labeling climate activism & social justice movements as “domestic threats,”…

Four years?—Maybe longer.

They sneer at Democrats, liberals, leftists, progressives…they don’t debate, they sneer.

It’s not just disagreement; it’s contempt for anything that doesn’t serve their dominance.

Their entire worldview depends on someone being beneath them.

Bragging & doing snobbery about God…it’s a twisted, authoritarian theology where domination replaces humility, & exploitation is framed as divine right.

They invoke God not to protect or serve, but to justify their rule & greed.

𝕏-President Trump, JD Vance, Elon Musk, & other figures like 𝔇is…it’s just grotesque: Empire, lost in its own myth.

(Let derby vegan!)

This perspective fits perfectly in discussions about industrialism, including animal agriculture.

A quote from Hess, “If the War Goes On: Reflections on War & Politics.”

It’s not only a critique of direct acts of war & killing, but also of the more insidious forms of destruction, like apathy, social injustice, & all other systemic forces that stifle human potential & creativity.

Panel 1 Ember raises her hands in the air triumphantly. She has just explained her master plan to her friends on how she will become rich and famous. Without going into great detail, it involves everyone liking her and giving her lots of money. Which she definitely deserves. Ember: AND THAT'S HOW I PLAN TO BECOME RICH AND FAMOUS! Panel 2 Ember turns to Grace and requests that her plan be read back to her. She already knows it's perfect but she wants to admire how perfect it is. Grace and Bolero have been drawing this whole time. Ember: GRACE, PLEASE READ THE PLAN BACK TO ME! Grace: OH!? Was I supposed to write it? Panel 3 Grace hands her drawing to Ember. It shows the three of them petting a giant cat and having a great time. Grace wrote her name in the bottom right corner and "Best FRiends" near the top. If you're curious, Bolero was drawing fish playing poker. Grace: I was drawing us petting a giant cat. Panel 4 Ember can't help but feel proud of Grace's art accomplishments. If there was a fridge, she would put it up on the fridge. Grace: THIS PLAN IS ALSO ACCEPTABLE!

I don’t believe politics or technology will solve the climate problem; I believe it’s rather the human life form, it’s culture & economy (the industrial complex & its technological system,) that needs to change & has to mutate,─#govegan.

The pig in this picture is already dead, killed somewhere in a slaughterhouse,—but how many people cared?!!

𝔇isrupt apathy!

Whatever.

Whatever………….“accident.”

**Being-in-the-grand-scheme-of-things,** as we are capable of understanding the universe, & preparing ourselves for **voyaging to Mars,** I find it rather deeply unsettling to observe how humans navigate the ethical landscape.

Documented by Rob Fleming, the image reveals the brutal reality of the livestock industry, illustrating how even animals that survive horrific accidents are still sent to their deaths.

This photo shows a lone, injured survivor of a pig transport truck crash on its way to the slaughterhouse. The animal is being hosed down before being taken to slaughter.

Change doesn’t happen by waiting for someone else to take responsibility,—change happens when 𝐼 take initiative.

The world is shaped by those who step forward, speak out, & take action.

“𝒲𝑒,” that means “𝐼 & 𝐼”

If 𝐼 don’t act, who will?—& if not now, then when?

~ I saw myself today, after which the flux of things could just go on; a moment of recognition,—then release, allowing everything to continue…

The movement of things, uninterrupted.

Nothing is static or fixed.

(But hey, let’s keep pretending it’ll all magically sort itself out by free market capitalism.)

The “invisible hand” isn’t solving climate change or reversing biodiversity loss; if anything, it’s tightening its grip on ecological unresponsible practices that exploit both people & the planet.

Systemic change seems inevitable, but the form it takes—whether through proactive, collective action or through chaotic collapse,—stays uncertain.

These signs have been evident in various forms of data & analysis, underlining the urgency for global action to address these interlinked crises.

The signs of systemic collapse—climate disasters, resource depletion, & widening social inequalities,—aren’t just *abstract concepts;* they’re tangible realities with mounting consequences.
