Tim Barrus: The New York Times

There is no global warming because Dear Leader said so, and we all know Dear Leader never, lies.

We have ruined our environment, and we are continuing to ruin our environment because the top one percent never have enough.

Lake Superior. Lost.

We allow it. We drink the poison. Socrates.

Our optimistic POV is unwarranted.

We elect Dear Leaders from the local level to the top.

A generation of old white men – a patriarchy of greed and revenge. Dear Leaders will not be satisfied until they own it all, and the rest of us are rendered slaves.

You are thinking this is extreme fiddledeedee.

Yet history repeats itself over. We never learn. Humanity has embraced slavery the same way Americans have embraced hate. Hate and poison are related. It is a sickness, and it’s in the water. You cannot separate these issues because they exist in the same ball of wax. A ruinous, toxic environment means politics as well.

We are mostly water. We are Lake Superior. We are runoff. We are the toxicity we have made. We are our fertilizer. We are our pesticides.  We are our cancers. We are our consumption. We are steadfastly adverse to change.

Our species is doomed. We don’t even see ourselves as a species.

We are above it all.

Nature does not agree.

We ARE doomed and there is no going back. We all know that we are quite able to elect Dear Leader again and again. It doesn’t really matter what Homo sapiens believe. Nature’s on a roll.

Believe this: Dystopia is here. Your water is poison, and so are Homo sapiens.
