"When good people arrive at the bottom they'll find it already populated with masters of lawlessness and violence by both inclination and long experience."

“Complex societies get so stupefying unintelligible, so convoluted and self-contradicting as to be the direct equivalent of lawlessness. “Government by enabling act” is getting to be so obvious even the media is noticing:”

"Absent legitimacy it's a sprint to whatever irreducible power center presents itself."

Isn't that the liberal/democrat motto ?

i dispute the premise of the article “The middle class is known, condemned actually, for carrying out violence with the efficiency of an industrial project where bloody destruction at any scale is not only in play, it’s a metric. Remorse is left for the next generation, they’ll have the leisure for it. We’d like to believe this is merely dark speculation. History says it isn’t”. This may no longer be the case. Societies fail when the engine quits! i think the engine has been removed.
