In addition to what Spinoza said here, we have Hegel’s remark that “the only think we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history.”
Regardless, what we’re running into here and now in the United States is unprecedented in American history. Since the country was established in 1776, there have exactly zero attempts to overthrow the federal government–until now, of course.
Here we have a former president inventing lies about the validity of an election in an illegal attempt to remain in power. We might think that effort failed, but it may be too early to make that claim.
Every day, our nation’s face is pushed a little bit further into the toilet.
Gotta love the creativity, and certainly the sentiment, that is captured by the artist whose work we see here.
In reality, however, Lady Liberty should be depicted sitting with slumped shoulders, tears rolling down her cheeks.
There has never been a moment anything like the present in U.S. history. A sociopathic criminal in the White House, bolstered by traitors in both Congress and the Supreme Court.
It’s always encouraging to see the emergence of another brilliant astrophysicist into our culture — not that his message here is particularly encouraging.
