Surely, everyone should be able to tell how extreme this is getting.
What I worry about now is that the Supreme Court will have been compromised. Have they been?

The collapse of The New Rome?

"We all know the story about Julius Caesar and the fall of the Republic, but jumping into the story at that point is like jumping into a movie in the third act. It's exciting, and clearly big, important things are happening, but you have no context for how everyone got to this point. So I wanted to pull back two generations and ask, “What was it that opened the cracks in the foundation of the Republic?” I also do think that if there is any period in the thousand-odd-year history of Rome that Americans in the 21st century can look to for an analogous historical setting, it's right here.
Once you zoom
into this period there are a lot of familiar problems: growing economic
inequality, intransigent elites more focused on petty political
one-upmanship than addressing the needs of their citizens, endemic
social and ethnic prejudice, the breakdown of unspoken political norms —
very fertile ground if you want to study how it could all go horribly
awry if we're not careful."

I'm feeling a little bit of hope that the Russian interference may stop. It is too late to prevent short-term damage to our country, but perhaps we can recover. The environment is another story. Just don't live in a flood zone, or a wildfire area, and keep emergency supplies on hand. And keep shining your light.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that, Linda. Putin is a monster who has had so many Russians incarcerated or worse. And not just Russians, also unwilling politicians from countries of the former satellite states. Why our idiot and chief thought Putin wasn’t in it for himself I’ll never know.
DeleteWe can’t let him win this or every person wanted to live in freedom will suffer. Ah, the environment. The environment will decide our fates, not the other way around. The Earth will save itself even if it has to take everything back to Mitochondrial levels to do it.
