It surely is all of our collective fault to some extent but this system has been in the works for decades, if not a century at this point. By the time most of us came into adulthood, it was likely too late already to significantly change the course our oligarchs charted for us.
What’s occurred in the last year, and also the failed “Hail Mary heave” that Trump represented, has solidified my position that the USA is it current form is over. There’s just too much fracturing even beyond race. White leftist and White rightwingers might as well be from a different planet. Then you have all the regional differences and cultures. Someone wiser than myself said the average empire, which the US certainly is, only lasts for 250 years. This country will hit that magic number in 2026. That feels about right. Another 5-10 years before this lumbering multiracial, globohomo, corporatist monster goes tits up. I hope balkanization will be the answer. Bloody war could be the unfortunate outcome. Whatever it is, it’s coming.
But to me, all of that will be good news. From the ashes we can build something better. We don’t have to work to reform all the inherent flaws baked into the original US constitution. We can take what worked, throw out what didn’t and add what needs to be explicitly said. That’s what I mean when I say organize locally and work to build a good community or regional network of people you can trust. For many of us, this may involve the need for strategic relocation. Most cities we’ll have to unfortunately abandon.
Lastly, I think there are inherent “flaws” with people on the right or nationalist side. We are reactionaries. We are not revolutionaries. We like order. We are good hardworking people who like to be left alone. We focus on family. We are patient. We are kind, compassionate and empathetic. Slow to anger. We like to give others the benefit of the doubt. We are trusting. And because of this we can be naive and taken advantage of. We have been now for a long time. The Left, lead by a certain overreaching Tribe, will trigger the events that kick things off. They already have. Historically they always seem to. Unfortunately, I don’t think we ever act until the Left destroys the natural order and our way of life. Halfway through 2020 they are certainly doing their best.
