Let them eat cake

Civilisations don’t politely fade into irrelevance. They collapse in fire and hunger, in greed and decadence, in a cycle so predictable you’d think we’d have learned by now.

We are living in the decline of the hedonistic empire.

A culture that once pursued pleasure and ambition now feeds off itself—a machine driven by selfishness, poisoned by greed, and run by the same hands that profit from that decay.

The rich have everything. The poor have nothing.

And I say this from a place of relative comfort, I'm lucky to have this life. All be it burdened by these lingering thoughts—I feel as if I am seeing it clearly—we’re mutilating the spirit of the people.

Castrated, ambition dulled, bread and circuses. The elite preach morality while trading stocks on their own legislation, securing billion-dollar government contracts for their friends, sitting smugly behind world leaders, never held accountable.

They make money from our sickness. They turn every failure into a market opportunity, every act of destruction into a chance for profit.

But this has happened before.

A ruling class that distances itself from the people. A population too numbed, too distracted, too divided to fight back. A government that serves the markets, not the citizens. A society where art becomes product, where expression is regulated, where passion is monetised until it suffocates under its own weight.

We are watching it crumble in real time—and this is where revolution happens.

Fire, not a fizzle.

Because we have never faded out—we burn like an almighty fire.

And in that fire, in the chaos, there is something real. Something human.

We create, we fight, we love, we push forward even when we could be running straight into oblivion. art, passion, progress, love—even if it’s ultimately lost to the flames, we felt it, it is out experience.

And that’s the difference. That’s what matters

Because in the end, we don’t die scrambling for the last can of food.

We won't die bent and broken under the weight of someone else’s greed.

We die standing up for what we believe in.

We protect family.

We love equally.

We choose humanity over profit.

We express ourselves.

We lift each other up.

And maybe that’s how we finally stop it. Maybe that’s how we break this infinite loop.
