re: #278 Belafon

Your post does tie into something I’ve been thinking about. Is there any way we could make a change that big without incurring a crisis first? Ending slavery took a war. The New Deal took both a global economic crash and a war. The things I can think of that changed without a major crisis was Medicare and Apartheid.

I don’t know. How can you reconcile with a people so divorced from reality, logic and reason?

Maybe the doomed fate of this republic has already been sealed and just needs to play itself out, either violently or non-violently.
