What would Americans do? If we too were faced with an existential crisis?
Author's
Note: I wrote this article right before those idiots in Washington and
Tel Aviv made their horribly stupid, wasteful, sadistic, immoral and
unconstitutional attack on Iran -- apparently meant to distract
Americans from our slo-mo slide into economic disaster as well as from all
those sickening revelations in the Epstein files.
This shoddy, un-thought-out, dangerous and unsuccessful attack on Iran is the stupidest mistake that America has ever made (with the possible exceptions of Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza, Yemen, Yugoslavia, Venezuela, Cuba, Panama, Libya....)
Right now, Iran is facing a very serious existential crisis -- and
so is Ukra$ne, Israel, Palestine, Libya, Sudan and I forget who all
else. Maybe Syria, Venezuela, Somalia, Taiwan, China and Russia? But
what does the word existential even mean? According to Webster's Dictionary, it basically refers to anything "of, relating to, or affirming existence". Okay. So. All these countries are worried about not even existing any more?
Is America's very existence also under threat right now too?
Probably not. You would think that we would know if it was. You'd look
out your window and see a mushroom cloud or little green men in pink
pajamas trying to vaporize us with their ray guns.
But what if we were? What would the average American do? Stock up
on peanut butter and toilet paper? Pull out our Smith & Wessons?
Dig nuclear-blast-proof tunnels under our front lawns? Just sit there
in front of our big-screen TVs and blubber, "Why are they doing this to us?"
Everyone thinks that America is impermeable right now. "War will never come to our
shores!" Yeah well. If the Epstein class and the "Israel First" class
and the Federal Reserve class and the Pentagon class don't stop
screwing around, even you and I may soon have to face that huge
existential question, "What would Americans do?"
What? Huh? We did not mean
to terrorize almost every country on the entire globe for the past 100
years until the blow-back flood finally became impossible to stop?
Or we could stop waiting for an existential crisis to hit America's
shores too -- and finally just ask, "What would Jesus do?" Or something
like that. Stop bombing and massacring and exploiting and starving and
sanctioning and assassinating and overthrowing all the world's other
governments and just live and let live?
Nah. Never happen. Better to start stocking up on peanut butter and begin digging tunnels and bunkers under our lawns.
