In better timelines (you might've seen these in movies) - the uprising, or the rebellion, have secret offices and meeting places they can go to. Sequestered halls and chambers behind rundown bars where quiet meetings take place, where great deeds and plans for liberation are shared. In this our current timeline - there are no secret offices, and certainly no hidden meeting places. The great teachers of our time might not even have jobs right now, let alone the resources to own pubs or bars, nor the ability to financially sustain themselves properly. The beasts of capitalism, generational wealth control and heavy inflation have rendered them unable to teach. First, they must survive. They are building, or are being built up - this is why they feel so dormant, why there's seemingly no one out there for the masses to depend on or emulate for virtue. Even the many potential King Arthurs of our time, the Archetypal King himself, is probably stuck working two dead-end jobs in the middle of nowhere as we speak. This is the irony of life, and the irony of collective choice. We have humbled our heroes, and our greatest teachers. But believe me, we are just the forefront. Little bubbles of hope reaching through the water's surface. ![[Pasted image 20260403231713.png]]
