Gradually, then suddenly
In The Sun Also Rises, Hemingway describes how bankruptcy happens.
“Gradually, then suddenly.”
Which is an apt description of what has happened to the world we’ve built.
The raisin took what was a gradual process and suddenly ripped it open.
He took the freedoms we fought for and manipulated them. First, it was the truth, which now has become fiction. Next it was science, which became pseudo. The final straw was dignity, which no longer mattered.
Fact and reason used to rule the day, but no longer.
Fear is the new fiat.
This isn’t to say that the opposite end of the spectrum isn’t due their share of blame.
They are guilty of stealing our lives. Rather than celebrate commonality between all people, they have chosen segregation, simplification, and the silencing of contrarians.
The question is, what are we going to do about it?

1Turning Point USA created the meme above, which first, wtf. Why are they the ones creating these memes and not us, but the reason I add this footnote is for us to remember one of the rules of War: “the enemy of your enemy is your friend.”
