WHY THE PAST 10 YEARS OF AMERICAN LIFE HAVE BEEN UNIQUELY STUPID

[Lily]

For anyone that has legitimate concerns about the direction this country is going in; good read.

I ask the question, if you have $20 to invest in addressing a problem that America is experiencing (or anywhere in the developed world" where would you invest your $20? Getting rid of the new "pronouns", investing your $ in insisting men can give birth to babies, getting rid of "CRT", identity politics...


"What would it have been like to live in Babel in the days after its destruction? In the Book of Genesis, we are told that the descendants of Noah built a great city in the land of Shinar. They built a tower “with its top in the heavens” to “make a name” for themselves. God was offended by the hubris of humanity and said:

Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down, and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.

The text does not say that God destroyed the tower, but in many popular renderings of the story he does, so let’s hold that dramatic image in our minds: people wandering amid the ruins, unable to communicate, condemned to mutual incomprehension.

The story of Babel is the best metaphor I have found for what happened to America in the 2010s, and for the fractured country we now inhabit. Something went terribly wrong, very suddenly. We are disoriented, unable to speak the same language or recognize the same truth. We are cut off from one another and from the past."

I would spend the 20 at kinkos to print as many copies of this book as I could get, along with all my personal secret drug manufacture notes on how to made LSD from grass and tell them to photocopy and spread this info everywhere and to defeat the regulatory government by creating a 7 headed hydra of industry that makes drug laws obsolete with nothing but raw capitalist people power of the almighty dollar

I could spend $5 of my $20 to end the war on drugs.
