The society that they are striving to “manage the decline into dependency” might just collapse right onto their pointy heads.
We are definitely living in interesting times.
Nice try but missed the mark on a lot of things.
It’s odd, yet predictable, what the media has done to us. As things worsen, and our precarious national opinion becomes more apparent, the media goes into top censor mode. We have left wing media, supported by left wing fact checking, balanced by big tech filtering of the internet searches, and AI feeding us what we want to see. The illusion is so great, that most Americans have stepped out of reality.
Sure, there are indicators that they have been placed into illusion. On the left, they were convinced that Trump was with the Russians. Then convinced he Obstructed Justice. Convinced Trump would destroy the economy. Convinced Trump broke campaign finance. Convinced Trump was a fascist. Convinced Trump was crazy that China was responsible for the virus. Convinced that other medications like ivermectin didn’t work. Absolutely sure Joe Biden wasn’t impaired. They had no doubt that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian propaganda. This was the most legitimate election in history.
These things should be asked of any liberal, how many do they believe? Why do they believe them?
For me, the questions I have all seem only possible if our intelligence agencies have been corrupted to a point that we no longer have a functional republic. We aren’t fighting with democrats, we have democrats that don’t understand that it’s citizens versus government.
Still waiting for Killary/Comey/Sztrok/Brennan/Clapper et al to face justice...
Another brick in the wall of a future that has arrived:
forgot to mention the big lie of “global warming” unraveling also eventually.
I've never seen nor heard of the word in the title "Limn." But apparently it is legitimate.
I routinely engage with people from different sectors of different communities. I honestly believe that what we see in the news, what we get from the progressives, and what the vast majority of people really think are at odds with what is portrayed. There is probably only about 15% of adults who subscribe to all this progressive crap, true there are many who grab the government hand outs but most people believe the woke crowd are just plain crazy. Now many also believe the elections were stolen, including Georgia senate run offs. We are going to see a couple years of hard economic times no doubt. The focus will shift from being woke to how do I eat. Inner city folks are tired of crime and will start to take matters into their own hands. Election integrity will get fixed. It won’t be fixed overnight. I recall the Jimmy Carter years and the 2008 economy. The pendulum will swing back. Parents are starting to awaken to higher education indoctrination they are noticing school boards that are wacked. The snowball has started to roll.
I have faith in Americans. We, collectively will not sit back and let the 15% determine our future.
"How it will play-out is anybody’s guess. Mine is that, one way or another, some military caretaker administration may have to interrupt the 232-year-long cavalcade of governance led by legitimately-elected presidents."
Good article by Kunstler - but I fear he is underestimating the degree to which many Americans find the three big lies comforting (like masks and lockdowns) and simply refuse to let go of believing in them.
