It was just announced that there are now 8 Billion people on our planet.

Your article is far-reaching, but on some points I find some friction.

As the population increases, I believe [1] we must all become less polarized and less prone to pointing at a label (progressive to fascist), [2] to dig beyond the headlines (As example, "de-funding" the police is a partisan rhetoric designed to trigger and to polarize, and which glosses over the lack of mental health services, for one. "More police" doesn't address the crisis started when Reagan de-funded mental health service programs) and [3] to gather as a community instead of ideological tribes and encampments.

In my opinion, we are all now in a time of greatest need for action and awareness, else a time when we watch the Republic make it's descent as the capitalists (like the gas companies) cash out.
