Personally it rings true to me. I knew about the 4 stages of civilization theory brought about by natural selection/societal change—Hardship and struggle—-victory and growth—accumulation of wealth and mass prosperity—- indolence and softness leading to corruption and decay—Repeat. Yet with us it’s happened so FAST. From the 50s at our height to today in well under a lifetime. It took Rome 200-300 years.
Why have we went through the last 2 (well 1 1/2 I guess) stages so quickly? Well because of likely espionage from the USSR/China etc. speeding up the process as well as our excessive luxury.
Makes as much sense as anything.
Sadly, many of us see rule by the logical but racist Communist Chinese as preferable to rule by the illogical but racist left.
The problem is that we Americans see fair treatment as an essential important quality for everyone. This is why we endure all this woke crap.
In 10 years the PRCs will just walk in here and be welcomed in by the wokesters.
Hell we’ve already allowed them to take over our colleges and buy up our land homes and farms.
When the Chinese take over this asylum, bad as they are, it’ll be an improvement.
And conservative will have no one to blame but themselves for folding before every woke advance.
We have met the enemy...yada yada yada
We are in the grip of a really bad case of AFFLUENZA - the disease where you don’t appreciate how well you have it and where it came from.
Sadly, the only cure is lots of pain and suffering.
