American heresy
Why I am neither right nor left
A new year is here in the land of America. I do not know if it is an auspicious year. I do not claim powers of divination. What I am sure of is that our current system of governance is under strain. Without massive overhauls, it will break. Sooner rather than later. In this land, the contest is between utter mediocrity, psuedo-religious fanaticism, and purely hate-driven militaristic stupidity fueled by patently asinine conspiracy theories.
On the left, institutions of higher learning practice a form of theocratic wokeness that fuels minority outrage against average white Americans, and the average white Americans react by electing doltish, boorish fascism lite wingnuts like Boebert and Taylor-Greene. Not only is there no middle ground, but the extreme polarization continues to grow the divide between people who want equity and justice for the first time in their lives, and people who are terrified that their place at the top of the pecking order is in jeopardy for the first time.
