The majority of the population has become absolutely irrational. This includes people within my circle of friends and family. It's beyond confusing and tragic to watch. I keep asking myself what will tip them over? At what point will what they see be so crazy their eyes open? But they just keep going along... This is a more mysterious phenomenon than I ever in a million years could have imagined. Reality really is stranger than fiction.

You sweet summer child.

People did not become irrational. They came out that way.

Your fiction happened, more or less. The idea of "progress" and rationality is modern invention. The ancients understood hysteria and irrationality. It is why they were both more permissive and more brutal.

You are of the lucky few who straddle that line. We see the horrors, we read of ancient horrors, and we will not be immortalized by our censorious masters to come. Take comfort in that, because no soul wants to live forever in a beast.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. It looks like we're starting the next dark age. I agree that the development of the ideals underpinning the enlightenment which led to the true "Liberal" order (not the current version) were a historical anomaly. I still can't really imagine how those ideals ever actually succeeded.

So yeah, you're right. A brutal completely inflexible ruling class will actually be more of a move back to the norm rather than something exceptional.

What is shocking to me is that people I have known and trusted all my life are going right along with this. I cannot understand how they don't see where it's leading. The writing on the wall could not at this point be any clearer.

We cut ties with the jews and due to lucky technological advances power was distributed to whites that allowed us to fight back against a tiny minority religious tribe.
