I think he’s just gone crackers and everyone around him is too frightened to tell him to stop.

I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing, and that is terrifying.

I'm ashamed to be American. We're sick. We deserve destruction. We've failed the Founding Fathers. We. Have. Failed. As. A. Nation.

How can we have failed, when we're doing pretty good at all the shitty goals we set out to do?

I disagree.  We have lots of wrongs, yes.  But we don't need to be destroyed - we need to be restored.

I thought it was a throwaway tweet or joke, but it's actually semi-real?

Kanye schedules his first presidential campaign event.

Being the cynical person I am, I suspect he's doing this to get a slice of that sweet campaign contribution embezzlement system. (I thought he was pretty interesting back in the early/mid 2000s, but he's changed quite a bit since.)

It's funny that two days ago I saw an article saying he dropped out, but an article from the day before said he'd just officially registered with the Federal Election Committee.

Ah yes, restored. Because past america was great.

I'd say the original constitution was a pretty good idea, in its context. It is no longer valid, of course, and in action, has been steered way off course.

That American spirit could still be brought back, though, in the form of a completely new country copying the French, just like last time. At which point, destruction and restoration are semantics.

The American Dream was a fluke that cannot be replicated today.

This country has literally never not been monstrous. Even once you trade away the worst of the internal atrocities you get brand new external atrocities. And the remaining internal atrocities are still pretty high up there!

The "american dream" was a hoax from the get go. Death of a salesman, and all that.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.
