Yes, when you confine your thinking to only exist within the current system, thats all you can comprehend.

Here’s the thing though, when the choice is between two slides towards fascism, A steep one, and a slightly less but still increasingly steep as you descend one, the only way to escape fascism is not to choose which slide you take, but to build an off ramp.
