Has anyone ever seen such a huge widespread collapse
of society and government happen at such lightning
speed?

And nobody seems capable of setting things to right.

It makes me think, on some level, that we have all
agreed to it.

I have always thought that fascism and mechanism have
become part of our collective unconscious, to the point
that such a collapse has actually been predicted by
those who understand how the world really works.
