Sorry but all the fables and fairy tales I read as a kid led me to believe people would be learning WAY more lessons than they actually do

I feel like I told you so would be bad manners.
The image contains a series of tweets from Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net) dated January 17, 2022: 1. Tweet 1: "Democracy in the US is in an Alderson loop. A program stuck in a repetitive loop of democratic collapse with no exit condition. Voting is our attempt to click the X button thinking we can stop this outcome but it's not working because it wasn't coded to." 2. Tweet 2: "But our democracy doesn't have a kill process button. No task manager to interrupt the process as it consumes all available processing capability. It just continues on soaking up all our attention as we are unable to stop its escalation into a fatal system error." 3. Tweet 3: "Fascism is the blue screen of death for democracy. There's no rebooting or restoring the system. We'll reach that point and realize this outcome was always the one coded into the system, a fatal flaw from the beginning. In the US, that fatal flaw is white supremacy." 4. Tweet 4: "The exit condition was always eliminating white supremacy, it was just never accessible based on how the system was designed. And thus, we're stuck in a loop we cannot escape." Let me know if you need further details or edits.
