Sarah, how about a conspiracy hypothesis that at least makes sense to me? I suspect that regime that we choose to call "they" want you and the rest of a concerned citizenry to be terrified enough as we count down the weeks (days) to the Trump inauguration...a citizenry so fearful that some moron's going to press the red launch button, that another "insurrection" occurs - maybe a march on the capitol, at which point 'they' will be able to declare martial law, postpone indefinitely the transfer of power, and continue with whatever contingency plan that has been decided upon.
Certainly possible; I take nothing of the table. Here’s my take, from twitter:
Staying in a state of angry activation wears you out and makes you less effective. People who want to destroy you psychically know this, intuitively or intellectually, and will use a constant stream of rage-inducing injustices and hypocrisy to trigger the response.
Others are made pawns in their game; they don’t know, but they participate.
It’s all a Game of Thrones, modern Medici amorality. Weaponize your enemy against himself.
*And you don’t have to play.* Be water. Let the corruption flow past you like the fetid sewage it is. Take action when impelled by truth, but be at peace with reality as it is, not as you wish it to be.
The innocent will suffer regardless of how furious you are. The guilty and evil will loll about in luxury no matter your apoplectic rage. “Some are supping on tears, some are supping on wine; we all get to Heaven in our own sweet time.” -Gillian Welch
To make the world more peaceful and just and honest, be peaceful and just and honest. That’s what is in your control.
