It strikes me that every single element of western civilization that was true a hundred years ago has been torn down and decried as evil. Yet, a century ago America, at least, was strong and powerful, and growing more so every day.
Since the rise of the Boomer Generation, and the modern incarnations of Feminism and all the other -isms, we have failed to win a war... which is not the same as losing... and squandered our wealth on projects designed to make a handful of wealthy, privileged (and amusingly enough, white) people feel better about themselves that have actually made things much worse for the people they were purporting to help. We've coasted almost seventy years on the victories of the previous generation, the inheritors of the wealth and power of the great captains of industry.
And yet, despite the clear ruin of both our nation and our personal lives at the hands of these monsters, we still believe in all their lies about the evils of the past.
Despite the evils they perpetrate on even their own children, we believe their lies about what is best for families.
Oh what a piece of work is man.
