The rurals think we hate them in the cities

The cities think they hate us in the rurals

Meanwhile, the rich are making one last cash grab

In Bitcoin no less

We are all being screwed, and we have no capacity for revolution, only civil war

Stay safe, keep your trusted friends and family close

And be kind

Kindness is the only thing that drives out hate

Not love, but kindness
