Hi Caitlin, I discovered you on twitter over the past couple of days, and I find your writing to be remarkably well-reasoned from the ground-up. How refreshing.
I'm a U.S. citizen and very much concerned for the future of both the future and the world. Naturally it starts for the sake of my wife and children, but concern radiates out from there.
It's interesting that you consider yourself a socialist, but I see you don't define precisely what that is. I consider myself a libertarian in that the individual should be self-sovereign and free from coercion. It seems that the folks you consider your enemies (e.g. sociopathic imperialists) I also consider to be my enemies. So often, socialism and libertarianism are seen as ideological opposites. However, I wonder if that is true. I think the most potent establishment tool currently is the ability to get the "plebs" to attack each other rather than focusing on our common enemy.
Can we build a narrative that would direct the anger we reserve for the "other side" squarely on the people who are actually hurting us? There's obviously plenty of anger there...we just need to change the direction it is pointing.

Typo - "future of both the U.S. and the world"
