Four years may not be sufficient to enact meaningful changes in state systems, particularly when older generations maintain rigid worldviews. True transformation demands a generational shift in thinking that sees the state not merely as an instrument of control and edification, but as a platform that offers a flexible framework for action, facilitating collective cooperation among people.

As we found out during covid, if you disrupt a system, it can be incredibly difficult to just get it going again. And this applies to malignant systems too.
ALLS I’M SAYIN’ GUYS IS - THIS IS A SPECIAL TIME.
Politics doesn’t get any more exciting than this. At least peaceful politics.
Peaceful? They only deal in accusations.
The accusations of a coup seem like a form of pareidolia to me.
“It feels like a coup” > “Coups are usually violent” > “They are violent” > “They are criminals”
No, I mean the constant reference of criminality, stupidity, insufficiency, inefficiency and dishonestly in the political conversation. None of these concepts address peace, or elicit it.
Well, yeah - it’s not directionally peaceful, but at least it’s non-violent.
I’m talking about real coups, civil wars, etc - even more interesting (remember Prigozhin!) but let’s not go there.
Garbage in, garbage out. Also many words have eroded to the point of meaninglessness, producing just seas of noise any more.
