Look people I'm about to leave this world which I have inhabited for these last 67 years, and I'm here to tell you that shit is going off the rails, I am really deeply concerned.
There is a terrible reckoning dead ahead and it won't be any kind of replay of a known historical event - no cattle cars, no guillotines, no napalm. This is insidious and more global; lockdowns, financial larceny, pandemics, mass migrations and extinctions; Infrastructure and support systems overload, civil liberties extinction in the midst of civil rights rising.
I don't know what exactly collapse/implosion looks like but it's coming, and much faster than I ever expected. Systems are on the brink. I expect no return to 'normal'.
This ain't no disco, this ain't no party, this ain't no foolin' around
I'm not sure things are worse now than with the 60s race riots in terms of instability.
I think a big difference now is we don't have an enemy in the soviet union to unify us. And the people who want to turn us into another СССР are secure enough to be much more open about their intentions.
During the 60's, the US (and Europe) were still 90% White and shared the same core civilization. The 60's race riots were impressive but unimportant in the grand scale of things. The majority population could have smashed them like China does with their minorities. Now we are much, much worse: demographic minority in many cities and religions in the West, under attack and vilified by the media, entertainment and colleges, losing our own capability of controlling the education of the next kids... We are in a very peril situation, in an existential crisis.
