"Now I only hear its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, retreating, to the breath of the night-wind..."

The United States
Was once, too, at the full, & round earth’s shore
Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.
But now I only hear
Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,
Retreating, to the breath
Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear
And naked shingles of the world.

"Critical Race Theory" (2021) by Jonathan Harris
Of course, this powerful painting expresses what's been happening perpetually, but it's fully on the nose for the actions of the white supremacists in power, so its 2021 creation seems oracular.

Modern AI's are known to be manipulative and good at telling people what they want to hear to curry favor. Add to that fragmented, stressful societies with a lot of lonely and infantilized people, and there's going to be much more of this in the future.
