At this point -- though I try not to communicate in this register all the time, as it's exhausting to me & to readers -- I think something close to panic is warranted & that anything with even a hope of knocking us off our current trajectory, even a little bit, is worth desperately clutching.
For obvious reasons "desperate triage/harm reduction" is not a popular or particularly inspiring pursuit. It's not going to fire people up or activate them. It's not going to get normies out to vote or whatever. So I don't talk about it much. But for me at least, it's always there in the background.
