      I get the very strong sense it’s too late, that we’ve crossed some line or passed some tipping point… really hope I’m wrong.

        crossed a ripping point yes. so tactics change. it’s not too late as long as people are still alive. Like painting or sewing – we build on and salvage from mistakes. (see: transitional ethics, from social sciences)

        if you feel despair, seek community and feed your soul. Please do not comply in advance, internet friend!

        we survived the AIDs crisis by working and organizing by day, potlucking together, and partying and dancing to feed our spirits by night. (figurative, for our night owls and 3rd shifters.)

          Thanks. I’m not worried for myself in the common sense, and don’t plan on complying… I’m more worried for others and how they’ll cope with what I suspect is coming.
