The simple answer to the question here is that we’ve become a nation many of whose people think, “I got mine. Go die.”
Now, how did this happen? That’s more complicated, but I suggest that, as I’ve believed since I was in my teens, we’re living through the endgame of free market capitalism.
The rich have gotten richer and have taken an ownership position in our lawmaking processes, so as to take them from millionaires to billionaires. At the same time, the rest of the U.S citizenry has become so poorly educated and desperate that they’ll believe that the people who harvest our fruits and vegetables are stealing our jobs and driving up the cost of housing.
Just a generation ago, Americans were proud that their country led the world in promoting democracy and moral fortitude. Now, we stand for racial hate, greed, cruelty, and war criminality.
Here’s proof (as if any were needed) that Trump understands that he’s despised and knows that his claims that he’s “respected around the world” are total bullshit.
What Seneca said here is as true today as it was 2000 years ago.
When I was a boy, I predicted that the advancements of science would eventually put an end to religion, but it appears I was wrong.
Dwindling educational standards and pounding levels of propaganda have brought us to the point that 42% of Americans reject the scientific finding that human activity is causing climate change. These are probably the same idiots who believe that that vaccinations are dangerous.
Are you seriously blaming this military catastrophe on Hegseth, rather that the criminal sociopath who appointed him?
