During the US election count I heard the US president repeatedly being referred to as “the leader of the free world”. It must come as a shock to Russians to be told that there is a “free world” and they’re not part of it. Just another example of the West still being stuck in Cold War thinking I suppose. Or another example of the West committing suicide by reality denial. Either way …. objective reality always wins.
Recently started following. In light of all this what is someone in the US, particularly a young person, supposed to do? Sounds like one might as well give up on life and start wasting away on drugs every single day until the inevitable (and perhaps freeing) dirt nap. Doesn't seem like there is a point, particularly after reading the "American Egregore" article.
Midwinter Soliloquy, there is always a point provided you can come up with it yourself. Why would you expect your silly country to come up with it for you?
