Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return?

Point of no return for what?
Do you mean it’s fall, like Rome?
No, I don’t think so at all.
I actually think we’re on the cusp of actual, true reform.
But if I’m wrong, just try to remember that millions of people lives happy, fulfilling lives, even while Rome fell around them. We will too.

You sound like a scoundrel…

Uh, no, that’s not what I said. It’s just a fact that when empires fall, almost everyone living in it just live their lives regularly

Yeah… that’s not a strength of that society. It’s a failure. It’s stepping over bodies on the street to go have a Sunday stroll in the park.
And your position is also self-apologist bullshit that helps you personally alleviate an inherent guilt you hold. You feel “accused” by nobody in particular so you state (again, to no one in particular) that “they” (you) don’t need to feel bad for being a selfish prick in this moment.
