American Anxiety

- James howard Kunstler -

I started soldiering back in the late 60's and early 70's. Race relations in the US Army were not the best with racially motivated fights on post fairly common. In the late 70's and on, it wasn't so bad or noticeable. Though politicians were coming out about the percentage of minorities in the services were not in line with society in general aka higher percentage of minorities in the service. I called it politically motivated race baiting then and it still is. Witness Obama's, Sharpton's and Jackson's statements.

I fear that JHK has under-estimated just how much worse it will get.

We tend to forget that homo sapiens is first and foremost a social animal. We run in packs for protection and competition for resources. The progressives reject this notion. The conservatives claim religion has raised them above it. Any refusal to accept a fact does NOT negate the fact. Black, white, green or libertarian will run in packs with the most outspoken fairly high up in the pack hierarchy.

When competition for resources intensifies, the packs will hunt with deadly earnestness. For examples, look at all the riots over the last few decades where media was there to witness. Destruction of infrastructure and looting were the commonality among all of them.

Jim C. you failed to note that all political parties use victim labeling as a vote capture device. Why do you think we have such a large military contingent supported by white republicans? Fear is a powerful motivator. Now couple that with urbanization and the consequent loss of the extended family structure. You have a society of alienated and fearful animals eager to join any group that gives them a sense of security and power.

Dude really. You carry on against JHK like he is a brother-in-law that refused to lend (give) you the money to buy a bass boat.

Beginning of the headline :“The whole world was watching this case to see if everybody can get equal justice, not just certain people,” Benjamin Crump, the lawyer for Mr. Martin’s family, said on Sunday. —The New York Times I’m not so sure the whole world was watching. The rest of the world is quite preoccupied with countless other events careening toward criticality — civil war in the Middle East, bankruptcy all over Europe, riots in Brazil, the global bond market, a mystery epidemic in India,etc — and if they are watching, they must be mystified by what they see...
