The two destabilizing events recently occurring back-to-back, the response to the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, and the George Floyd rioting, illustrate well how America is now institutionally incapable of making decisions in her own best interests. That is, the overreaction to the disease and under-reaction to the rioting reflect a country long demoralized.
Moreover, if that’s not troubling enough, know that this is a state of being that usually leads to tyranny. We’d had pandemics before — ones causing more death, especially when adjusted for population — but we’d never before embraced lockdowns, a cure worse than the disease.
But at least the disease was a relative unknown; riots are not. People the world over know how to deal with riots, and this isn’t by letting them metastasize so thugs can run wild, hurt the innocent and destroy the nation. Yet our “leaders” fiddled while the country burned, motivated by moral confusion and weakness, and some, most certainly, by ulterior motives.
You may recognize “demoralization” and “destabilization” as the first two steps in the process of communist subversion, explained well by late Soviet defector Yuri Bezmenov, a KGB agent who fled to Canada in 1970. Bezmenov stated in the mid-1980s already that the process of demoralization — an undermining of a target nation’s morals that makes it ripe for revolutionary takeover — was “basically completed already” in the United States. But a money line is what he said about demoralized people:
“[D]espite…the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country. It’s a great brainwashing process….”

The police are being conditioned to protect the rioters and to go after church-goers and business people who break the shutdown orders.
I’m not demoralized. And I live in the belly of the beast of liberal enclaves. Don’t believe the media. Don’t give up the fight. Make America great again.
Recent events by political leadership would indicate it is certainly better for their careers and safety if they do just that. Oppressing Christians and small business owners is now socially approved in our upside down world.
Very well said.
If, in 1955, you were sitting in a room with other people who wanted to topple America, what would your plan be?
You most likely would look for pre-existing divisions in American society that you could exploit (e.g. race, socioeconomic status, urban vs non-urban, university educated vs not university educated, etc.).
You would look for ways to achieve massive demographic shifts. The best way to do this would be to promote immigration, both legal and illegal, with a heavy emphasis on bringing in people who are likely to be more sympathetic to/in line with Communism/Socialism.
You would subsidize youth pregnancy and out of wedlock children (when you weren’t pushing abortion), building government dependency.
You would push for secularism, and to diminish and denigrate the role of religion in society. This could be done in a variety of ways - including infiltration of the churches, eradicating all talk about religion in public schools, and pushing a secular narrative in the schools - including efforts to denigrate the character and integrity of those visibly active within the religious community. You would also push the narrative that science has all the answers, and that science and religion are mutually exclusive.
Etc. In other words, you would do what has been done in America for the past 70 years.
The WWII generation would have put this insurrection down post haste. The Matriarchy™ can’t handle real conflict.
You would also push to destroy organizations that establish character in youth like the Boy Scouts. You would ostracize them for prejudice against gays in the scouts (scoutmasters). Then you would demonize them and bankrupt them with lawsuits for admitting pedophiles who preyed on children. The young boys were just pawns in their evil scheme.
It’ll take more than slogans
I used to think doomers about civil war were just blood fantasy
I’m not so sure now
This unrest is far greater than in the 1960s
It’s pervasive and has incredible institutional support
Bookmarked
“This unrest is far greater than in the 1960s”
There does seem to be large support for an unCivil Society.
Emotional [and uneducated in the traditional sense] thinking is on the rise.
Mostly from people who live in gated communities.
