A fruitless tug-of -war

“War mentality saturates our polarized society, which envisions progress as a consequence of victory – victory over a virus, over the ignorant, over the left, over the right, over the psychopathic elites, over Donald Trump, over white supremacy, our there liberal elites… Each side used the same formula, and formula requires an enemy. So obligingly, we divide ourselves into us and them, exhausting 99% of our energies a fruitless tug-of-war, never once suspecting the the true evil power might be the formula itself.”

-Charles Eisenstein
