So 9 days after Israels 9/11, the fireworks in my brain are subsiding enough to try and generate a coherent post. Unfortunately my burned out brain cant come up with a better title.
Great post, and the title's fine and appropriate, which I guess is why you ended up going with it. Interesting the targets of Hamas' slaughter were largely Bibi opponents. On the other hand, Democrats and narrative supporters are disproportionately damaged by the jabs. So while it's worthy of note, and might mean something, it also might not. I doubt those behind the Covid hysteria like to see critical-thinking contrarians spared while sheeple suffer the most. it's all so interesting and fascinating, as well as sad and depressing. I hope, at 72, I get to see a lot more unfold - another incentive to try to stay healthy and fit. Even as a teen, I could see authorities tend to be the worst people, and can't be trusted. And that most people are hopelessly obtuse and naive. Turns out it's even worse than I thought. The founders understood both those truisms and did what they could to address them. Amazing and lucky we had a period of mostly good and wise leaders at such an important time. As they feared, their protections won't last. They never do - if you haven't read John Glubb's "The Fate of Empires" I'm certain you'd be glad if you did. Only 23 pages, easy to find the PDF. We boomers are SO LUCKY to have lived in such uncharacteristically good times.
Well, it takes a while to destroy a society. The destruction began in the 60’s Boomers benefitted from what was built up in the 20 years post WWII and it wasn't until the 90’s that the decay started showing as a result of neoliberal policies from the late 70’s .
Boomers are like the frog placed in cold water and slowly heated up. The destruction occurred slow enough we didn't see what was happening , at least not until it was too late. But we are probably the last generation to know what the good times were like and what was lost.
I consider the Boomers to be victims. We were the first Tavistock project, totally engineered to reject that which made the Good Times possible.
Of course the engineering happening today is at a much higher level. Poor kids.

Mr. Lincoln that was excellent!
