As an American, the last 10 years have been a real surprise to me. I’ve always known that there were incredibly stupid and hateful people, but it seemed like a slowly shrinking minority. The slow, incremental progress of America has led to apathy for most progressive voters. After all, if nothing is broken and it is getting better on its own, why worry about fixing it.
The problem is that a very over the last 100 years, a small but very rich group of psychopaths have been slowly eroding things like our education, journalism, social support, workers rights, judicial systems, and more.
I’m not talking about some secret group like the Illuminati, I’m talking about individual psychopaths like Elon musk who pick one or two things that they feel get in the way of thier ability to grab the power they think they deserve. They whittle away, using their immense wealth to slowly chip at our institutions. And each new one is able to build upon the work of the previous psycho.
The problem is that the last hundred years of slow witling has left us with very weak foundations, and things are beginning to fall apart.
