"Seen accurately. American collapse is a catastrophe of human possibility without modern parallel . And because the mess that America has made of itself, then, is so especially unique, so singular, so perversely special — the treatment will have to be novel, too.
The uniqueness of these social pathologies tell us that American collapse is not like a reversion to any mean, or the downswing of a trend. It is something outside the norm. Something beyond the data. Past the statistics. It is like the meteor that hit the dinosaurs: an outlier beyond outliers, an event at the extreme of the extremes. That is why our narratives, frames, and theories cannot really capture it — much less explain it. We need a whole new language — and a new way of seeing — to even begin to make sense of it."
This should be all anybody is talking about.
We aren't talking about this at all.
It's a 6 minute read, and likely will help you capture that feeling in your gut like it may already be too late.
For later.

We aren’t talking about it because it was stopped one year ago.
Had Hitlery won, it would have already taken place.
If you still have that dread now, you’re not paying attention.
Not ready to give up on the great experiment just yet. The American left can’t outlast true American values. It is my considered opinion that this current move toward Marxism will end up bringing about its own demise within the next 10 years or so, as real Americans begin to see their rights and freedoms threatened.
With all due respect, read the whole article.
It really has nothing to do with Trump, or even politics.
It’s something else, and it is so massive and unattributable to a single cause.
It’s the best I’ve seen in terms of capturing what’s going on.
I urge you to read the whole thing.
It has little to do with the election. It’s cultural and more encompassing that cultural.
I don’t post lightly. I seldom do original posts.
This is a watershed article.
I don’t share this doom and gloom, education must be fixed.. that’s the real long term threat.
Freedom without constraint of expected societal behavior becomes anarchy. This is where diversity and protected classes are slowly destroying the nation.
Culturally, however, the failure in education, family, religion of sustaining their credibility within our society is doing potentially permanent damage to us as a nation.
In every battle between the God worshippers and the dirt worshippers, the God worshippers win because we believe in creation and can always create more resources. The dirt worshippers do not believe in creation and cannot create more, they can only re-distribute what the God worshippers create.
Don’t be fooled by the media that the “culture” as depicted in the media is true, it is more fake news. Believe in God, not the media, then you will feel better.
Yet those once poor countries are making great strides.
Costa Ricans now have higher life expectancy than Americans — because they have public healthcare.
American life expectancy is falling, unlike nearly anywhere else in the world, save the UK — because it doesn’t.
Granted, I'm not up on worldwide mortality rates, but that sounds like something written by a socialist.
Will probably still read the whole thing later, but given the above, it will be with a skeptical eye.
So....Haque thinks things will be hugely improved by Single Payer Healthcare, huh.
I’m wondering:
WHERE is he FROM...?
And why is he HERE and not that other place...?
Anarchy for me, but NOT for thee.
I thought Global Warming is the one we’re supposed to be worried about.
Demographics is destiny.
BOTH parties have been changing the demographics against the will of the citizens through non-enforcement of our law and borders.
Unless we halt that, the demise is inevitable.
The observations and conclusions in the first two of five points are... specious... Let’s take the first one... what exactly is a school shooting? The seems particularly vague by the article’s standard.
I'm going to call BS right here.
This self proclaimed "vampire" is demented.
You get Canaan. In stereo.
We earned this. So drink.
Unfunded liabilities to the tune of 300-400 TRILLION dollars will collapse this country. Not education, not culture but the most glaring thing staring at us square in the face
