1. While I appreciate VDH, it seems he like others like to complain but offer no solutions.
   Granted he is just pointing out the obvious, but what is our alternative?
   I read one poster who is totally thinking the left is correct, my God how deceived are we as a country?
   Sadly I’m hoping for a Yellowstone blowout as that seems the only way to reset our nations.
   While patriots are saying “well why don’t you do something”, but how can you when the system is already corrupt?
   Ask a trucker what his result was, ask a Jan6 person in jail how it worked out for them.
   Ask a border guard how they get up in the morning not feeling their job is doing an impact.
   We need to hunker down, and yes maybe hope an asteroid hits.
   So it seems, I’m complaining like VDH, but the reality is no voting or trucker demonstration will fix this, has to be something big.
   And I mean, really big.

   1. Everything in life follows a pattern, based on a principle. You thrive when you base your life on principles and build according to patterns that work. This is true for individuals and for countries.

      “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

      We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” ― Thomas Jefferson

      1. No finest prose was ever written on how to conduct politics.
         Of course that assumes, however distractive the word may be, well adjusted, educated and decent population.
         While it can be said that most of the population are as described, they are too busy making a living, leaving the politics to the low life. They sort of gave up, maybe not the majority though sizable minority.

   2. Yup.
      Protests are pointless especially when dissent is becoming criminalized.
      When mathematics, logic and reason are assailed, guns, blood & violence must prevail.

      But this armchair chickenshit isn’t advocating or doing squat.
      I’ll type some crap but do nothing except in direct self-defence.

      Nutjobs have used the system and now changed it to assume power.
      They will not relinquish it.
      They will, however, murder children and proclaim, “That’s just an appetizer.”

      You cannot reason with unreasonable people whose descent into madness has been deemed acceptable.

   3. ” . . . maybe hope an asteroid hits.”

      i.e. there are no viable solutions.

2. A nation run by fools. The people who see this should be taking all necessary action to stop and reverse the stupidity, by force of arms if need be . It is time wake up and take America back from the communists.

3. Hanson, like Walter Russell Meade, has degenerated into yet another Ruling Class shill. He no longer offers any insight into our current problems.

4. The left produces the porn and the right distributes it.

5. What can one say.
   Those that need to read it and think about it, won’t.
   So then you have that.

6. Rapid decline?
   Sudden Bankruptcy?
   Free-fall is wonderful,until that sudden stop at the base.
   The charm of sky diving.
   We have watched,shouted out and resisted as “Well intentioned persons” or so they claimed,have gnawwed away at the foundations of our civil society.
   And now that great structure of human achievement and history is tottering,leaning heavily to the left,about to fall..

   We talk of Rapid Decline?.
   We all know what must follow,history having many examples,if you have not made your peace with what is to come,you better start.

   Small portable items.
   Tools of necessity.
   And trade units fit to barter.
   Knowing you must first survive a plague of starving parasites and bandits.

   Now knowing it is one thing.
   Saving the current structure is another.
   First you need to be sure of the problems.
   Then you need workable repair.
   And of course you cannot begin the renovation,while squatters infest the structure and thieves keep stealing your building material.
   This is the tragedy of the commons.

   Who am I to tell you ,that what you do will destroy you and yours?
   I have no wish to run another’s life for them.
   So we tolerate madness and hysteria..
   And who has all the answers?
   Maybe we will muddle through just fine?

   I doubt it,but that is my right.
   And the “Rapid Decline” of North America is overstated.
   If the financial system crashes and burns,if government fades from daily life..people will still do what they do..
   Except that without the bureaus,the citizen will have to deal with their own fools and bandits directly.
   That is a good thing.
   Funny how most of the minions,inside the bureaus,will be amongst those bandits,requiring dealt with..
