Was the dissolution of the United States inevitable? Probably, once all the “diversity” and “multiculturalism” crap got started. Right up to the end the coins carried the motto, E Pluribus Unum, just as the last dreadnought of the Imperial and Royal Austro-Hungarian Navy was the Viribus Unitis. But the reality for both was Ex Uno, Plura.
It’s odd how clearly the American century is marked: 1865 to 1965. As the 20th century historian Shelby Foote noted, the first Civil War made us one nation. In 1860, we wrote, “the United States are.” By the end of the war, the verb was singular: “the United States is.” After 1965 and another war we disunited—deconstructed—with equal speed into blacks, whites, Hispanics, womyn, gays, victims, oppressors, left-handed albinos with congenital halitosis, you name it. The homosexuals said silence = death. Nature replied diversity = war.

I’d label ‘The American Century’ as August 13, 1898 to September 11, 2001.
I was watching a program on the Weather Underground last night. It was really stark how the left used the concerns of fairly innocent young people over the war as the basis for undermining everything that the previous generations had held as good and normal. The revolution is on going and is almost complete. It has however become the new normal and like frogs in the heating water we have learnt to feel reasonably normal in our surroundings. As I was only born in 1960 I did not know the world prior to the 60’s and yet I still find myself horrified how far we have fallen - what must it be like for those of you who were mature and cognizant or what was going on in those times?
heh. I was only 7 in 1960.
LOL I didn’t mean you specifically - not calling you old or anything hahaha!
I was 6 in 1960 but was old enough to be appalled by Roe v. Wade a decade and change later. Also noticed how general morals were taking a dive about the same time.
