I don’t know about you, but I’m sick & tired of the bellicose psychodramas playing out in many of the twentieth century’s superpowers, each at different stages of their imperial decay.
At worst, their ugly posturings threaten a short, sharp, & horrific end to our civilisation.
At best, they’re a narcissistic distraction from the critically important issues facing humankind, most notably working together in peace to prevent catastrophic climate change.
Which, of course, may be no coincidence.
