and you say that it will take atleast a generation or two or at worst 3-4 generations to fix this?
Our current situation has been at least 100 years in the making. Arguably >200 years depending on whether or not you consider the French Revolution to be the first major milestone on the path to uptopianism.
Only in the last decade have we gained more than a vague awareness we (western men) were even in a war. And only in the last few years has there been any serious analysis of the enemy tactics, capabilities and objectives. Before that it was a secret war of position and infiltration at which the subversives are eminently capable, where our side didn't realize they were fighting.
We have just started unrolling the maps on the planning table.
Maybe there will be come sort of catastrophe that will accelerate to the war going hot in our lifetime but that isn't an outcome anyone who isn't a psycho would want.
I'll sign in just to say that I don't consider myself a psycho, and I want it to go hot as soon as possible. I have kids, and I do not want them to be the ones who find themselves both new to adulthood and new to the conflict. I especially do not want them to find themselves in this conflict with the current crop of millennials as the reigning custodians, the stewards, the guardians in charge. I fear this outcome more than anything. GenX is the last generation that retains the memory of how things were, and how things could've been, before a handful of gut-punches sent Christendom into what might be a fatal tailspin. Whether or not it survives might depend on conflict becoming neighborhood-to-neighborhood, City vs. Suburb/Rural, before GenX isn't around to at least remind the younger combatants that a good, decent, peace is possible.
