It's the snide and joyless way of doing a touchdown dance over the death of the white man's religion in that Captain Cassidy article that is what's wretched and unsightly here. It's naive or willfully ignorant to not recognize this was the explicit goal of conscious policy choices advocated by capitalists beholden to liberal individualist ideology and globalism. Perhaps the religion as our ancestors practiced and believed is well and truly dead, but the collective body it imbued with passionate exaltation of truth endures in nations. As for the misery index, one should welcome the news. As you once said (paraphrasing) "things need to get worse before they get better, but they need to get worse before they get even worse" An *acceleration* of the worsening is therefore in good order, no?
