For folks who like joining things and building with others, this is a solid articulation of why coordination—not outrage—is the real pressure point.

What lands for me is the move away from Left/Right theater toward a single legitimacy test: does the system preserve human life and well-being, or does it consume it? Once you name that clearly, a lot of “normal” behavior stops looking normal.

I also appreciate the emphasis on receipts over belief and on small, distributed action rather than saviors or grand revolutions. Convergence isn’t about marching in lockstep—it’s about shared recognition reaching critical mass.

Worth a read if you’re wired for collaboration and want to see how people are trying to build parallel infrastructure instead of just critiquing the old machine.

Great article! Think about 15 minute cities and internet censorship. “They” are working to prevent convergence, but people are clever - there are always workarounds. Humans are social animals - isolation is cruel and inhumane punishment. 😡

Alas we the people have fallen for the greatest psyop in history- that there are two distinct parties with distinct differences that, according to which team we have joined have our best interests at heart.

Article intimately and painfully captures the zeitgeist of “tragedy and hope” thrust upon us.

“Slowly at first then all at once”.

Hold strong in the teachings of Jesus Christ.

The poor are excluded once more just like in the old world which you are claiming to be contributing to defeat!

The new and improved it's the same as the old...

I’m on board with the core idea that any system that treats human beings like spreadsheet inputs is morally bankrupt. That “human life first” standard is solid and necessary.

I do have to admit, though, that somewhere between “The Inner Circle,” “The Phalanx,” “The Forge,” and “Truth Bullets,” my inner monk started looking for the nearest exit sign. Real change is usually quieter and less cinematic, and a lot more about people fixing themselves than naming the final boss.

Are you asking me to be more boring? Lol

I actually agree with you. The real work is quiet. The problem is that the system treats our 'quiet self-fixing' as a bug to be patched out with debt and distraction. We use words like 'Phalanx' and 'Truth Bullets' because the Rust is loud, and we need a signal that can cut through the noise so we can find each other. You work on the soul; I’ll keep auditing the 'Final Bosses' who are trying to auction it off. Does that balance work for your Inner Monk? Lol

Excellent article!

We all ought to be submitting Applications to Congress, Instructing our public servants to hold ICE accountable for violating the Preservation of Life (Earth) that you allude to. The power to Instruct is a lesser known constitutional Right that We, the People remain in sole possession of (as part of the Supreme Right to self govern).

Anyone can get in touch for a copy of the SCOTUS enforceable template.

Justice says: repair, proportion, boundaries.

Oppression says: you are now the thing we’re allowed to destroy.

Yes. I see it… seems it all began to change in 2012. Just a personal observation. Thankyou for your articles. They do make sense.

Spot on. This "First Law" is a breath of fresh air. How would Convergence, practicly speaking, de-escalate those "tribal boxes" the Rust loves so much?

One who exists without a soul, is a zombie. That is a internal conflict, for life was not meant to be walking blindly.

Corruption is a deviation to personal fulfillment. It is a state of conflict, which has a life of its own- but not for us.

Liars speak and its blasts as if from a loud speaker. They believe their lies to be unheard, but with every inch of our being, we see them for what they are and lies are always felt. They stir all that is good within us. Lies are eventually uncovered.

TRUTH is essential, and those of untruth do not have the right to lead... too much blood in their wake/ and revealment.

Most Ameropaths don't have imagination they just have complacency and collusion.

At 70, I can’t say I’ve ever felt alone in this struggle, considering I don’t know a single person IRL who ever voted for Trump.

No, are you from Tipping Point with that Charlie Kirk?

Wow, you have an imagination? You are definitely American, where are you located?

It’s always fun to watch someone speak about Marx and Communism, who has no clue about Marx and Communism.

This isn’t fact-based argument, it’s classic conspiracy framing, the same style used in 1930s Europe to turn political opponents into secret enemies. That’s a warning sign, not a proof.

You already decided the USA is a warzone. That's grounds for me not taking you serious, ever.

So, excuse me while I focus on the Federal Government which is being lead by a rapist protecting pedophiles, while he sends thugs into the street to kidnap and kill people.

Ethan Faulkner's avatar

I won't give you any legitimacy. Your words are paper thin, not because they're untrue, but because you fail to recognize the greater threat. Opportunists taking advantage of our division is not my problem.
