The consensus is that this is a difficult time, perhaps the most difficult of times: large groups of people in cities all over the world are protesting that they’d rather not be treated like shit.
But whoever’s in control will not listen.
The suggestion is that, of course, it’s only one power fighting another power and the real power, of course, is in the hands of the few who run the nations and their need is to protect those many things that belong to them.
It is conceivable that these few rulers will escape when the final eruption begins; they will escape to their safe havens where they will watch the eruption to its finish, and then after a reasonable wait they will return again and will begin building a new ridiculous and grossly unfair future.
