I feel like we’re living in a Billy Joel - We Didn’t Start the Fire song 2.0 (Fall Out Boy did a 2.0 version of the song where they used more recent events.) 3.0 and the events in the song are happening at 1.25 times the speed of the original.

No.
The world is run by capitalism, and you have to remember that unhappy, anxious people spend more, while dead people don’t spend anything.
Turn off the news. Turn off the social media. Go for a walk. It’s nice outside. None of this shit has manifested there.
Well, unless you’re in America and you look vaguely foreign. Maybe don’t go for a walk in that case.
I don’t know if just choosing to ignore this all is the correct response. I mean, it’s not overencumbering, but it feels like it also is a way for capital to reign free.
Maybe I’m just reading badly into it.
The correct way to fight against capitalism is to get together with your neighbours and start building communities that aren’t reliant on the Big Market.
We essentially have an oligarchy, or at least a growing list of authoritarian leaders. Kings in many ways except by name. Kings have been perfectly willing to destroy countries in furtherance of their egos, profits or other. Wellbeing of their citizens be damned.
