Dear Transitioners,

\n

Here we are, thirty years in the future. And 2052 is not a place for the faint of heart. To put it frankly, American life has fallen apart. Every layer of society is now ruthlessly preying on the one underneath it.

\n

Society has become a never-ending race to discover who can be the most vicious and destructive of all. Domination and dehumanization norms have produced a living hell in which everyone fights to slay everyone else.

\n

How we got here is clear. Over time, such people got even more vicious, shameless, and greedy. Until, at long last, America was governed by supporters of such norms and everyday indecency triumphed.

\n

Since Americans rewarded and normalized domination, their institutions and incentives were soon used to subjugate the very people who had previously been proud oppressors by a more brutal group of predators.

\n

So, when does this happen in America, you might ask? Well, unfortunately, this isn't a narrative about some distant dystopian future. This is your story, happening to you right now in a collapsing society with crowdfunded healthcare, school massacres, neo-Nazis in power, a renegade Supreme Court, and no one with the capacity to do anything about it.

\n

Things will collapse more quickly and harder than you imagine. This is the trend that every rational person should be paying close attention to right now.
