We do not live in a capitalist democracy we live in a corporatist oligarchy. Your speech is not free, our press is not free, It is my firm belief that the founders were wrong, this grand experiment as Benjamin Franklin put it has failed.
Modernity has led to a culture that is spiritually destitute, with a veneer of some new-age feel-good pop psychology spiritualism, or a surface level feel-good evangelical Protestantism. It's bread and circuses for the soul.
Broken patriarchs stepping aside out of some perverse ideal of stoicism or "chivalry" while leaving their children to consume themselves.
Hard times are about to make strong men.
