ArthurinCali has put up an essay<\/a> at his substack on the lifeless response of Americans to the destruction of their home.<\/p>\n

He uses the analogy of a homeowner who allows neglect to allow a fixable problem to undermine his whole house.\u00a0 I think the central statement is this:<\/p>\n

“The bathroom scenario describes the mindset many in America have who see the problems being caused by several issues that are not going away simply by ignoring them. Mass immigration, unaddressed crime, and the near-total erosion of the rule of law are leading to many Americans adopting a stance of apathy and behavior modifications to avoid what is happening. They rationalize and use pretzel logic to fool themselves that the train is still on the track, norms and standards are still in place, and the best thing to do is continue down this path.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Read the article at the link and see if you agree with the analogy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
