I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the dark truths that Chuckman has so well expressed about today's world and American society. I have only very minor quibbles with his point of view, and so I won't bother to express them in a commentary. This piece has moved me more than any other single article I have posted over almost five years of this blog. We are fast approaching a very frightening dystopia and I see only very scattered awareness of this development and inadequate responses in opposition to it.
However, I believe there are glimmers of hope. The main one being that the ruling class is creating a system in which they need far fewer middle class people to manage it for them, hence a shrinking middle class, and worse: many young people with highly trained skills and huge debts who might think of rebelling.
Enough said. Please read it and see if you don't agree with his dark vision.
Hopefully, you and I will not be discouraged by his pessimistic vision, but see it as an urgent warning and a renewed call to action.
