Gives me encouragement that we might be able to speak one day. I’ll crack on with my studies shortly. Life has been getting in the way lately. Thanks for the link, which I’ve added to my growing collection of Ham bookmarks.

No it’s not following that trope at all…it’s saying how extra-screwed we are because of the religious bent to all this — the clue’s in the name! Perhaps give it the 20 minute rule and see how you feel?
Hopefully you don’t feel the kind of documentary you describe is the kind I’m in the habit of sharing? ☺️

As you know, I struggle with terms like ‘the future’ these days as it’s already here, becoming more evenly distributed by the day.

This piece also reminded me of the ‘Praying for Armageddon’ documentary. Have you seen it? If not, Part 1 is on the Linktree page.

It’s interesting that in our present moment all the ostensible defenders of democracy (where’s that?) can only stridently implore you to “write your representatives” and “attend a protest near you”, when these measures are clearly useless. Sociopaths don’t care that you hate them or want something else.
