I agree, yet I’d content that that’s still “better” than people just sucking it up and placing blame for any sort of disharmony on the malcontents and miscreants. Yknow, “the 53%ers”. The subaltern.

There’s a blindness that is still able to affirm what’s right by being against what’s not right with all their being. They provide the social limits with their own selves. Without knowing how and whatfor, they make way.

And there’s people who know nothing but loyalty to the status quo. Nihilists in their own right, if only less visible than those they prefer to malign.

True enough. The country is on hard times, but for many, it will have to get worse before they ever remove the rose-tinted glasses and acknowledge the very real problems that so many of us are grappling with now.
