There was a time in living memory when people respected teachers and didn’t worry about trusting their kids with them. When the mainstream media was center-left but made enough of a good-faith effort to come across as neutral that people generally thought they tried to be honest. When TV shows and movies seemed to reinforce classic American values. When no one worried about government agencies “going woke.” When race relations in America seemed to have improved. When it seemed very doable to get the deficit under control. When our government seemed to still be inferior to the market, but at least seemed to have some low, basic level of competence. When the Internet seemed to be a great place to find new websites, meet new friends, and generally seemed like an enormous plus with few minuses other than taking up too much time. Then, there was sports.
Thanks for writing this essay, and thanks for starting with the central antagonist movers, the Left endlessly attacking the Right. For demonic reasons, the Left cannot stand the religious values that underpin much of conservative thought, so they must attack at all times. I was watching a documentary about Pol Pot and the Marxist process of fighting for the revolution continually, without ever letting up. How else to explain the endless cries of racism, transphobia, blah, blah blah? Unfortunately the media, academia, and most urbanites have embraced this mantra, and facts be damned. No, I am not optimistic about the future of America.
America Has Become a Toxic Society
