That was a very interesting opinion piece, Pan.
Being a realist more than pretty much anything else and, after giving it and its linked articles a thorough and thoughtful reading, I am hard pressed to find much in it to disagree with.
I do not know if America will add "race war" to its reasons for a coming collapse but given the relentless efforts by the race industry to divide us along racial lines it is certainly within the realm of possibility.
I mean, the economic reason for collapse seems to be a foregone conclusion because of math. The whole "unsustainable" thing is what it is and there just isn't any getting around it. And that will, in my opinion, be a world wide collapse because of the international connectivity of globalism...once the dominos begin to fall there won't be any stopping them until we are out of dominos. But, getting back to our own little provincial interests...
I don't know if a "race war" is in our future, though I can see how it very easily could be as I noted above.
And you can throw in "religious war" as well given the same sort of direction that islam is heading toward.
What else is left to a collapse after you have factored in economic, race and religion? Sex, I suppose, what with the militant homosexual/feminist movement and the possible attitude of post-collapse survivors that they may as well clean house completely as long as they have started down that road.
I spent the day today taking my daughter a few hundred miles away to a summer camp. On the way back home, thoroughly tired of listening to my music selections that play randomly via my iPhone, mrs. trapeze
requested demanded that she get her turn and I was then subjected to a couple of hours of blandness intermixed with a few good seventies-era pop tunes (mrs. trapeze and I do NOT share a similar taste in music) and some horrid trash. One of the more obnoxious things that mrs. trapeze has on her iPhone is the godawful eighties group hug, "We Are The World." Holy cow, I had forgotten how much I loath that abortion. It did, however, give me pause to think about it in the context of yesterday's TM/BZ verdict and the ensuing
riots protests by the usual suspects in the usual places. I wondered just how many of the still living participants in "We Are The World" were on Twitter in the last 24 hours calling for GZ's life and waxing violent in general about "justice" for TM. I figured that there would be a few. Not exactly a profound thought or anything but it was the first thing that popped into my head as I endured listening to it.
Show of hands from anyone who vaguely cares: Could that song be cut today?
And if not, why?
I don't think that it could be cut today. I know, it wasn't about racial harmony (it was done to raise money for the perpetual, eternal and completely impossible to fix African famine and it was originally driven by super racist Harry Belafonte). I don't think that it could be done today because I believe that the race industry (aka the victim industry and the perpetually offended industry) has been increasingly active and very successful in the almost thirty years since "We Are The World" debuted. The race pimps and hustlers have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams except, perhaps, not in all the ways that they must have imagined. I have always been completely convinced that the Jacksons and Sharptons of the world could not care less about solving the problems of those they pretend to represent. I have always believed that they were always first and foremost in it for their own material gain. What I didn't see coming was how successful they would become in dividing the country more than it has been since the Civil War era.
We will never know what MLK would have done had he not been assassinated (but being a socialist there isn't much doubt really, is there?) but for the sake of this discussion I will pretend that his motives were always pure and he was a good guy who really did want everyone to be judged by the content of their character. I just don't see
that MLK endorsing where we are and I just don't see
that MLK approving of who brought us to this point and how.
No, I think that the race industry has really screwed the pooch as far as making this a better world for the people who they are supposed to be working for. The soft bigotry of low expectations, defining deviancy down, affirmative action, diversity and so on and so on have done their magic and worked their will to the detriment of those who they are supposed to be helping and yeah, ultimately it could lead to a "race war" that none of us ever wanted but may find difficult to escape.
