A Gentle Observation

A gentle observation from me on the state of our collapsing civilization given at the beginning of my eighth decade:

Replacing white men in positions of power with black or brown men will not change the fact that some groups of humans will be reviled, persecuted and crushed. Putting women in priestly garb or police uniforms will not make a difference either as long as they continue to uphold the present systems of church and state and their long histories of abuse and violence.

Fuck the Patriarchy.
