It’s amazing how little it takes to destabilize even the most powerful, prosperous nation in the history of the world.
Our founding fathers understood a Capitalist Constitutional Republic wasn’t perfect, but was the best way to run a society that we humans have been able to create so far. However, they also understood that it would only work with a moral and just social fabric.
It’s taken those bastards 100+ years of contant pushing and pulling us to the left to rip that social fabric to shreds, while simultaneously knocking out all the pillars of a free society: Education, the nuclear family, assimilation vs. unfettered “immigration” and uncontrolled borders, a lawful judiciary, responsible governance and government spending vs. wholesale welfare to buy votes, etc.
Cloward-Piven just accelerated the demise.
How we let ourselves slide this far continues to amaze me though… and yes I count myself among those at fault for not doing enough to stop or even reverse it. I thought I was doing my part while I was in the military, but maybe not…or at least not looking at the right problem set until it was far too late.
The hardest part for me was coming to grips with the idea that there are people who look at our country and way of life and literally hate it, and would do anything to burn it to the ground. I still can’t understand it, but at least I see it now.
And I can still try to prepare for what’s coming and try to take care of my inner circle.
