From Salon: "In an era when multiple catastrophes are competing for primacy, it is difficult to resist the conclusion that our society is entering a death spiral. We are in a period of what UC Berkeley professor Alexei Yurchak calls 'hypernormalisation'... It describes a moment when everyone knows the system is failing but no one has a viable alternative vision, so the state of decay comes to seem normal."
This article underscores the need for a positive vision for the future, one where #HealthCareIsAHumanRight, #HousingIsAHumanRight, and we advance #EconomicJustice and #SocialJustice. People know the current system isn't working for them, and we need something that motivates people and gives them hope. Otherwise we're just going to fall further into #despair and #fascism.
