    They don’t think that far ahead

    “Everyone I disagree with is stupid and wrong”

    I considered America a failed state 25 years ago, based on nothing but the last century of modern history, from textbooks — before 9/11, 20 years and trillions of dollars bombing the middle east to ((surrender)), the GFC, surveillance capitalism, citizens united, the rise of Trump and unadulterated fascism, etc, etc.

    Guess what the last 25 years has taught me? A majority of humanity are entirely incapable of seeing beyond what’s directly and immediately in front of them! But sure… The people who saw this happening in slow motion, decades ago, are the problem! Whatever helps you sleep at night is all that matters.
