as an arch pessimist & super misanthropist, IMO we simply are fucked & shall not save ourselves from this toxic rabbit hole. she sees some hope, i do not.

btw for clarity, above by "we" i mean our species, not merely the occupants of this stolen land. even if straya were to pull off a miracle, we are only an island geographically, not geopolitically & economically &... climately [hmmm, that certainly ain't right!]

@MsDropbear42 Yep, her enthusiasm for a resuscitation of the fourth estate of old seems as futile as CPR on a long dead corpse.
