“There is a deep reassurance for the frustrated in witnessing the downfall of the fortunate and the disgrace of the righteous. They see in a general downfall an approach to the brotherhood of all. Chaos, like the grave, is a haven of equality. Their burning conviction that there must be a new life and a new order is fueled by the realization that the old will have to be razed to the ground before the new can be built. Their clamor for a millennium is shot through with a hatred for all that exists, and a craving for the end of the world.”
– Eric Hoffer, The True Believer, 1951

Malcom said in a post awhile back, “things are moving quickly.” What concerns me is how long this will all take for things to come to a head. I’ve read some history and know that it took many decades for Rome to fall. But I hope than in our hyper-connected world, maybe a resolution will be much swifter.
It seems as if there are many currents swirling: SJW’s, people pushing back against SJW’s, third-wave feminism, Red-Pill enthusiast, the economy, an unaccountable militarized police, a useless judiciary, and out of control executive, etc.
These are crazy times.
