From Margaret Swedish this morning:

This rapidly unfolding planetary crisis was brought to us by a way of life in the western economic world to which we have become accustomed. That is the beam in our eye that we miss when we are trying to remove the splinter of this regime of cultural insanity
from the Facebook timeline of M.S.

Indeed, this regime now is but gleefully proclaiming the affirmation of the false story, already well established and underway in this culture. One exploitation leads to another. People —those “different ones”— and planet —our very sustenance, here for all, being captured for our own use, and disposed of without regard for the “others”, from whom we shut ourselves away — pressed into servitude for a story we tell ourselves, shutting our eyes to the consequences of an unprecedented overshoot. Our ultimate “Tower of Babel” if you will.
