It’s depressing, but the reality we were taught to believe never really existed. All of these aspirations were virtue signals taught to us by a capitalist oligarchy whose politics, policies, laws, wars, economics, and judicial system always clearly displayed otherwise with their actions.
It started with the virtue signal of “all men are created equal”; shitting all over non-landowners, women, and blacks.
The question isn’t if the emperor has clothes or not. The question is what we the people are going to do about it… probably nothing… also depressing.
It wasn’t wrong to believe that we could be that, and it was never wrong to teach that message, no matter the motives or provenance of the people teaching it.
It was a mistake to believe we had already reached that point.
I’m not suggesting we abandon those ideals in the slightest. I’m suggesting we acknowledge reality as it truly is, hold the charlatan virtue signalers and criminals accountable — whoever they are — and start creating the ideal world we all thought was possible.
Be the person your dog thinks you are… but to everyone, including yourself!

Seems like some have a solution.
