In times of crisis, one needs to stop and ask, \u201cHow did we get here?\u201d Our contemporary chaos is the result of a society built upon pervasive systems of oppression, discrimination and violence that run deeper and reach further than most understand or care to realize. These draconian systems have been fundamental to many aspects of our lives, and we seem to have gradually allowed them more power. However, our foundation is not solid; it is fractured and collapsing \u2013 if we allow that. We need to start applying new models of interpretation and analysis to the deep-rooted problems at hand.<\/p>
