It feels like we are in a tornado right now. I guess what I want is for the storm to stop. I know that many things are broken and will need to be rebuilt, but it feels like we can’t start that process while the winds are raging.
I don't like that analogy because it suggests that we're at the mercy of the forces of nature. It is their intention to make you feel like there's a tornado outside, and you're powerless to stop it so just hang tight until its over. But it's just a bunch of rich people with fans and noise makers outside your window, trying to scare you inside. You have far more agency in this situation than they want you to realize. Because as long as you are busy hiding from the storm, they are busy stealing all of the value and power they can hoard. By the time you emerge, they will have claimed everything for themselves and act like you're the problem for not liking it.
