Peace is the presence of justice, not the absence of visible conflict.

The philosophical divisions in the country are unsustainable. I wish I as as sanguine about how close we are to a potential solution as the majority of those in a poll.

I think that the entire west is going the way of the proverbial frog in the pot of water that is being heated to a boil.

What we have in our nation currently is, fundamentally, a conflation of the ‘town vs. gown’ conflicts that have occurred (and still occur) in towns with universities over centuries.

It’s the self-appointed ‘elites’ vs the peasants, and the peasants are rebelling.
