We’re living through another [radical shift in the way we live, work, and engage with one another] right now . . . a powerful, dangerous social trend that’s being driven by anger and ignorance."The World Became Unrecognizable In Less Than A Decade." By Simon Black, ZeroHedge, 2/24/20 (emphasis removed).Think about it: 5 years ago around this time, things still felt pretty normal.
There was always political bickering and ideological conflict... but discourse was pretty civil. No one advocated for violence or called someone else a racist simply for having a different opinion.
Then all of a sudden, in late 2015, people started becoming completely unglued.

"Keep clear of the dupes that talk democracy,
And the dogs that bark revolution.
Drunk with talk, liars and believers.
I believe in my tusks.
Long live freedom and damn the ideologies!"
(Robinson Jeffers)
What's that expression, "Tipping point"?
ReplyDeleteIMHO things were sliding slowly-slowly. All of a sudden the acceleration of what was already building up began.
Quite so. We clearly decided to go Full Retard as a civilization. I still cannot fathom the absence of antibodies to the madness. Seemingly sensible people say things like "responsibility to protect," "American exceptionalism," "regime change," "Russian collusion," and "affirmative action."
ReplyDeleteI never need to experiment with LSD. I know exactly what the effects of it are.
