Toward a slower rise after the fall
I'm not giving up on Donald Trump but
things are not looking good. The sad hope of electing this flawed
candidate is fading away under the Hillary machine of wealth, the Big
Media, and the academic world, which is spewing delusions. Hillary
cares most for women, people of color, and queer folk. Her political
solutions are based on fictions regarding human nature and they
therefore will only make our problems worse.
So what about the rise after the fall?
Is America over? Is the West finished? Are the people right who say we need to fall before
we rise? Frustrations and anger will increase, fascist groups may
rise, but I don't think that is the solution to the decline and fall
of America and the West.
We have a legal path in our
constitutional separation of powers and states. It is the slower but
better way. Human nature certainly prefers kin and group-selection
and we can constitutional separate the increasingly competing ethnic
groups into regions and states and protect them with federalism. It
does mean a slight transformation or at least an accommodation of our
constitution, but history has said that reforming the old is better
than trying something radically new, because the old has already
learned to adapt to real human nature. Healthy tradition includes change.
