My discomfort in the last few years, first with Russiagate and now with Ukrainegate and impeachment, stems from the belief that the people pushing hardest for Trump’s early removal are more dangerous than Trump. Many Americans don’t see this because they’re not used to waking up in a country where you’re not sure who the president will be by nightfall. They don’t understand that this predicament is worse than having a bad president.

All what's happening over there is not about particular persons, nor about individual policies, not even about political/criminal/whatever clans interests. The decay of politics landscape in United States is an objective process. It is exactly what had to be expected from a secessionist colony, created by slavers by a vociferous lie of freedom, which originally meant freedom not to pay taxes to their feudal ruler and freedom to keep their own slaves. With economics growth fed by continuous influx of human workforce from overseas for centuries, most of which was just squeezed and destroyed in the working process. A vampire realm. A 4.27% of total world population, but sucking over 30% of planetary resources. Now, it became unsustainable by new military, economic and cultural reality, and no ideology stacking nor religion could fix that. USA has fallen behind culturally, and now it has to pass the very same historical process the Europe, Russia, China and India had to walk through in 20th century. The American Empire is over, but the Americans did not realized it yet.
Freedom of speech is a conflict between false freedom of lies and true freedom of mind.

Cool story bro. Wrong about slavery both then and now. And wrong about planetary resources. We're orders of magnitude shy of 30% of planetary resources.

:-) Oh, there you go again, stooging for your masters, being wrong as usual. C'mon man, put a little life into it.
That 30% is 30% of all human consumption of planetary resources. As a total of available resources, we haven't even reached 0.01% of that.

Exactly. I'm not going to start pearl clutching until the Earth starts consuming a lot more than that.
