this is a good way to put it all. its so surreal
Civilisation, as we know it, has died already.
I think we are in the brink of a new kind of “dark ages” tbh…
IMO one of the major underlying causes of America’s current dark age is the assumption that America represents the whole entire world. Just like you’re doing here by equating the death of American civilization with the death of civilization as a whole.
There are plenty of places outside the US that are doing fine.
America’s curse is coming for you too. We’ve unleashed a monster and we can’t put it back.
Please stay vigilant. “It could never happen here” is exactly how we Americans got into this position ourselves.
Absolutely. Stomp the ever-loving crap out of your right-wingers before they get control. Do not let them wrest control of the media and internet from you. Nobody is immune to this plague yet.
I used to think that but the plague is spreading. Leaders abusing the power of fear and hate is becoming a global phenomenon. This idea that it’s just America or it will be over in a few years is a dangerous one.
Perhaps but perhaps in it’s death thoes (had to google to check that word) it may indeed be a start of a new dark ages. I hope not but they certainly can push it to there.
That’s more my worry these days because you got an ignoramus in control of the world’s largest (but evidently semi ineffective) military, mostly their ordnance capability.
The guy in charge may take everyone down when he feels out of options.
Well put. We are witnessing the death of the American empire. Not civilization.
Civilization comes from globalization - not in “corporate profits” sense, but in a “communication, sharing, and cooperation” sense, and this is VERY much under attack by forces that are doing everything possible to divide nations. America is dead - that’s not going to be fixed. But that doesn’t mean everyone else doesn’t have an uphill struggle to preserve civilization and integration.
Reminds me of the poem “Whitey on the Moon” (more timely than ever!): https://youtu.be/3nzoPopQ7V0?t=23
I wish all discourse could be one tenth this elegant, regardless of one’s position
Been feeling this since his first administration. Feels insane to even say that, he’s had two. smh.
