Thank you for your contribution to a better future. Even in the madness of these times, we can be grateful that centralized power means concentrated incompetence. And decentralized power produces distributed wisdom. In their arrogance, they do not realize that they missed their opportunity to accomplish their evil goals by a couple decades. Even with the shallowness of most social media discourse, it realizes an environment where people can find their voice. I was asked by a couple sitting a bar last week, enjoying an early evening cocktail, if I was optimistic. I said, “I am realistic, but, yes, I am optimistic.” Optimistic about the long future. For three reasons. 1. People like you Margaret Anna Alice who take personal initiative to contribute. 2. Because past generations have shown us how to deal with this madness. We are not generation one, but generation ten or twenty. 3. Because lies and corruption from a systems perspective are unsustainable. Every lie ultimately reverses itself with truth. And in a digital age, nothing is hidden. Who watches the Watchmen, we do. Stay strong. Your work matters.

And let's hope Substack stays true to its roots and its founders don't sell us out for $$$$ or to be liked by the woke OR that governments (e.g. Germany comes to mind) don't try to shut access to the platform off like they have tried or done with GAB, Telegram, Russian "state media" etc!

Facebook et al are also trying to compete in this space for those who want to write and read official narratives...
