The country I was born into is no more and it will probably take a populsr revolution to take it back. What was once the greatest sucess story in all the history of nations has been turned into a poor reflection of European social democracy.
I’m almost glad I won’t be around to see my country relegated to a second-rate nation.
The problems is, Socialism is popular with the weak and the mediocre, including many “social conservatives.” All we have to do is look to Quebec’s “Quiet Revolution” of the 1950s-1970s to see how easy it was for a traditional, Church-bound society to quickly transform into a secular, even anti-religious society wedded to state as a source of employment and personal sustenance.
