In the Kali Yug, the bull of Dharma (righteousness) is highly unstable. It stands on one leg, having lost the support of its other legs in the the previous cosmological ages. In the Satya Age, or Golden Age, the bull stands on all four legs of virtue but loses one leg each age until in the Kali Yug, it teeters on the one leg.
In the Treta Yug or Silver Age, self discipline or simplicity in mind and action is destroyed by pride and arrogance, and the bull stands on three legs.
In the Dvarpara Age, or Bronze Age, purity of heart gives way to lust and greed, and the bull stands on two legs.
In the Kali Yug, or Iron Age- the Machine Age, symbolized by the automobile, the last virtue of mercy or compassion is further eroded by greed, hate and power, and the bull is about to collapse.
In the Kali Yug, religion is relentlessly politicized and degrades into propaganda to promote- not the Unity of Life, but separateness and division. This age represents the final inversion of Nature as the bull of dharma collapses.
Everything starts to collapse in the Machine Age as greed and power is normalized by the abdication of love. Mercy and compassion are renounced for power that empowers greed through propaganda. This is the Age we are now living in.
The Machine Age is the age of Propaganda. It enshrines the goddess Progress as the exploitation of Nature and capital. The machine is worshipped as the capacity to dominate Nature through violent appetite.
The Machine Age is typified by the War Machine, the dedication to violent control of land, labor and resources. This is exemplified by the US as the very personification of predatory capitalism, which degrades at last into fascism, and as illustrated in the support of psychotic Israel.
The US since the end of the 2nd WW has come to regard itself as the vanguard of Progress and liberalism, the acme of the Machine Age and the nation that would now normalize genocide and war crimes as legitimate national policy with a 1.7 Trillion dollar annual War Budget.
The Bull of Dharma is in its final collapse as love and mercy have completely given way to greed and hate- and in the name of God, no less: the God of violent power.
