Nobody knows.
Without doubt, the damage is profound. The world has recognized that the United States is being commanded by a madman and has abandoned its place as the leader of the world.
As we look back across history, we see a certain shelf-life to democracies. It’s easy to believe that we’re in the final days of what became of ancient Greece. It’s also possible, as numerous scholars have asserted, that we’re on the precipice of the sixth extinction.
But it’s entirely possible that the pendulum may start to rebound toward the days of America’s greatness, the time of truth and fairness.
We’ll see.
To the reader who sent me this, I remind him of war, various forms of criminality including pardons for cash, treason, and corruption, inflation derived from ludicrous economic policies, racism, educational decline, world ridicule, and environmental collapse.
Outside of all that, I’d say you’ve hit the nail on the head.
I’d also add that “the jig is up,” as they used to say. There are far too few stupid assholes left in this nation to provide any meaningful levels of support to Trump at this point to save him from removal from office and criminal prosecution.
As a human civilization, we’ve been talking about subject for a very long time–to no avail.
Most people who consider this idea belief the problem is greed. In fact, Socrates said, “All wars are about money.”
I’m sure what Voltaire says here is true, but what’s the value in “raising oneself above the ideas of the time.”
Right now, human civilization is tottering on the brink of world fascism and environmental collapse. We need real solutions to precisely these issues.
