We Are A Nation In Extreme Crisis Right Now We Just Do Not Know It Yet.

[The Liberal Lion]

20. It's bigger than trump

Trump is only a symptom of a much larger disease. What is happening we can resist to some extent, but we can not stop. The collapse of western civilization is what i am talking about. We are in the end days of capitalism. It was already failing during the 70's, we just failed to listen to those who were warning us (myself included). As the fabric of capitalism frays, and we don't begin a transformation into a more economizing, and egalitarian economic system, so to does our social fabric fray and become ever looser. We can march, I hope it helps, I fear it won't. There are no decent republicans (elected) left. They have all signed on for madness. We (liberals and progressives) have no offices of power. The best thing we can do is become self sufficient and prepare for the deluge. I say this to you because this was a very on-point post, but it doesn't see the larger issues. In 2008/2009 we had the opportunity to transform our system into an economy that works for everyone. We have the proper tools and technology to do it. We failed, we decided to once again save capitalism. And when we did we sealed our feat to have this orange madman sitting in a place he does not belong, the White House. I'm afraid that the Rubicon has been crossed. Correctly you have surmised that this ship is going down, but you need not sit on the deck waiting for your fate. There are still lifeboats, get in, and don't look back.
