: In decline
I am working on radical acceptance of the fact that our country doesn’t have strong norms re: the rule of law. It’s written into our history, both the good parts (Boston Tea Party) and the ugly parts (lynchings): ends justify the means.
I will never be able to solve this framing error, or make this place absolutely fair. All I can do is take care of my little corner.
Is there any use to being clever or kindhearted in a declining society?
