America in Collapse

I got the meme here from a neighbor, but I wonder who actually wrote it.  There is a ton of propaganda on social media suggesting that we need to normalize the sociopathic criminality of the U.S. president.

It’s true that not every election is an apocalypse, but 2024 was disastrous for the U.S. democracy.

Yes, the country did not end.  But it took a giant leap towards authoritarianism.

Even that’s not the end of the world.  Democracies fail with great frequency on this planet.  I just never thought I’d be living in the biggest socio-political collapse in the last 2000 years.

In an average week, I meet quite a few travelers here from lands all around this planet.  Their most common thoughts on what’s happening here: “We simply feel sorry for you.”

In a recent post, I argued that our brains are wired in a certain way, and that we have little in any control over our values and beliefs.

German philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte seem to be saying something similar here.  To take me as an example, I’m no more capable of being a Trump supporter than I am in believing in the tooth fairy or Santa Claus.
