Seems funny to me that grown men will go crazy over a bad call by the referee or argue over a rule change or violation, but when the government breaks the law, doesn’t follow the Constitution or the Bill of Rights, crickets !!!
I have nothing but contempt for all politicians since I realized that they see their only job as working on keeping that job. Forget everything about them caring for their constituents. When asked if I like Trump, my response is that he is better than what we could have gotten.
Contempt of the legion of self-interested, whether politicians or seduced voters desperate for more free stuff, is contempt for the chronic but now thoroughly well developed failure of democracy with its long line of vested Parasites interwoven with rank evil. Tellingly, 'evil' does not appear in the DSM-5-TR.
We're entering the Age of Tyranny and at length, after much misery, relearning all the forgotten lessons history has so reliably taught, and perhaps arriving at a point where we each have absolutely nothing left to lose, we'll return once again to ashes, ideals, and transcendent aspirations.
This analysis of generational narcissism is sharp. The throughline from the Me Generation to selfie culture makes the case that Trump isnt an aberration but more like a symptom of whats been building for decades. I do think the self-worship argument holds up better when you look at how institutions lost their authority not just from external attacks but from theirown failures too. Once trust collapses, everyone becomes their own moral arbiter by default.
However, there are always bright spots of hope in any morass. RFK is a big one. Much of the research that has needed to be done over the last 50 years is slowly being started.
I was a teen in the 1960s. I never got very far into the "in crowd", never did drugs, never protested, didn't dress all funky, but liked a lot of the music. Didn't go into the military either. By the early 1970's, I stopped supporting religions. But God does not need religion to be known.
I didn't vote in 2024 although I voted for Trump twice before. I don't pay any attention to him or much of the DC Cesspool. What's the point? And for sure, El Trumpo is not me. I don't need a president, a congress or any authority telling me how to think or how to live. None of these people have a clue about much of anything other than lying, stealing, grifting and pretending to matter.
I never got into the "me first" mindset or the accumulation of endless things. In my mid 70's, other than my car all my personal possessions could fit into small 8' X 8' room. No big house, no fancy this or that. I got rid of most of the baggage as you know it does not transfer into the next life, thank God.
Come 2028-29, the doors will be blown off the barn and the country will enter very dark times. It has more to do with the deep state of terrorism that uses governments to bend to their will. El Trumpo is an agent of destruction intent upon doing the bidding of his masters. Such that he wants digital ID's for all, thousands of data centers, Palantir spying on everyone endlessly and he was the prime enabler of OWS which in itself paved the way for mass destruction of humanity using poison and deadly mRNA injections...which are still in use 5 years later.
Well, yes. He's a figurehead - a figurehead of Boomers, primarily, but also of any within a "Me" mentality. Oh, there are plenty Capitalist-funding Universalists (which is globalism - which is Bolshevism, really) who suppose they, as Trump supporters, care about the America of the pre-1950s, the one where people enjoyed their communities as larger extensions of their own familial groups (because they were, essentially, larger extensions of their own familial groups). But in their inability to admit their Universalist White-Man's-Burden tendencies, I'm afraid any claims to noblesse oblige fall flat.
The most relevant question after reading this about Trump (which we might say of Biden, the Clintons, the Bush family, Harris, and any other number of figureheads since FDR), is how'd we get here? Well, I submit it's mostly a matter of propaganda and conditioning. I think there's plenty of good evidence to back this up. Divorce increased in the 60s concurrent with a slew of Hollywood films sanctifying and glorifying divorce all over Britain, the US, Australia, Canada - wherever Hollywood infiltrated - that's where we see divorce rates skyrocket. What about interracial crime - influencing community cohesion and polarization? This increased with forced association known as so-called Civil Rights - which entirely went against what some leaders like Malcolm X were reasonably calling for - which was the opposite of forced association. Mass migration feeding the discontent and tendency to turn inward, volunteer less, be less? Take a look at the "aid" industry and money-laundering NGOs bringing the cheap labor to countries established by Europeans. All this propped up by the nihilism created by self-hate, engendered by social engineering. A great article on "modifying the standards of the in-group" and who was responsible can be found here: https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2020/01/14/modify-the-standards-of-the-in-group-on-jews-and-mass-communications-part-one-of-two/
I want to see more "moderate" and self-aware Semites take responsibility for what the nepotistic and technocratic-pushing billionaires among their own in-group preference have been responsible for - and what the less affluent among them are also voting for, funding, and talking rather loudly about. Are you such one? Instead of posting about how "we've lost our way" - please identify HOW that has happened and what the common denominator often seems to be. Be like Benjamin H. Freedman. Speak up. Or you're part of the problem. *For any who missed Ron Unz's "American Meritocracy Revisited," I highly suggest you take a look at it. It's absolutely relevant to all of this conversation. https://www.unz.com/runz/american-meritocracy-revisited/

I guess one could say we are balled ???
By the way, a very insightful article.
Well done !!!

Some refer to this moment as 'End Times'.

Good point. We all have to worship something. And if there is no God or gods to worship, what is left to worship but ourselves.

Absolutely

President warp speed done raped my GOP platform of its promise to abolish abortion as it had abolished slavery.
He is a tool being used to create the franken tube new world.
Yeah, he has flaws, but where would we be without him?
The GOOD he is doing for America and the world far outweighs the BAD.
Do you want to accept him as he is, or do you not want to accept him at all?
Well, yes. He's a figurehead - a figurehead of Boomers, primarily, but also of any within a "Me" mentality.

Thank you for the article.
You have gone mad.
