I was unfamiliar with this blogger, thezman, until I saw this piece at Doug Ross’ Journal. The very first paragraph captured my attention because it captured my thoughts better than I have been able. The reservations regarding living to see the end of the absurd destruction that civilization is hurdling towards was especially relevant and consistent with my own. The analysis of Trump and the reaction of others is also consistent.
For equal-opportunity political haters like myself, this election is a juicy time. For politicians it is apt to be as dangerous to the political class as were the protests of the 1960s. Thezman’s exellent piece follows:
Something’s Happening Here I must admit I have enjoyed the Trump-a-palooza this summer. The truth is, I have thrown in the towel on America so I don’t think our elections mean very much. It’s just a question about how fast we intend to drive into the abyss. Being old I should be rooting for slow as that means I can reach escape velocity before it gets ugly. On the other hand, life is for living and sticking around long enough to see the collapse has its attractions.
I can go either way so the elections are just entertainment at this point.
