    A Yeats excerpt that feels all too current.

    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere   
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst   
    Are full of passionate intensity.

    Know what he's referring to here, though?

    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

    Being Irish, he means something very specific.

    Please love yourself.

      I guess we need more anti-Trump conviction to set things right. All the passion is on the pro-Trump side.

      let me go over to Bluesky and convince them they don't hate Trump enough, they need to be more passionate about it.

      Education is extremely important.

        Yes, which is why I excerpted it.

          The change already happened, though, according to Yeats. Following along your reason for sharing this, Trump's not the beast but rather a byproduct of it. Same for Biden.

          Please love yourself.
