When I was a kid the Berlin Wall was up. I just assumed that it would be there forever. When I was born it had been up 16 years. It would just always be there, right? And then the year I turned 12 my Mom and I watched it come down and Germany became whole again.

One of the most salient aspects of today's politics is how everyone imagines a conspiratorial "them" controlling things behind the scenes. Elon Musk is literally powerful enough to affect the course of the Ukraine war, but he's still imagining faceless puppet masters who need to be unmasked.
