So we're in the Great Depression.
Couldn't figure out our way out.
My feeling is that you need to be stronger, and you need to tap into some extremely dangerous stuff.
And I'm sorry about that, but part of the issue is
Liberal societies go illiberal in one of two ways.
They go illiberal through hyper-liberal illiberalism and hypo-liberal illiberalism.
So the US has been experimenting with hyper-liberal illiberalism.
Maybe we shouldn't have a border because all people are, no person is illegal.
Maybe you can be any gender you want, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
That is not liberalism.
That's revolutionary thinking.
That's going to get reversed by hypo-liberalism.
liberal illiberalism, which is like the Donald Trump MAGA, let's blow up a boat, which we hope is filled with drugs, and ask questions later.
You know, that kind of super masculine, we're going to send the National Guard in, we're going to send ICE in, we're going to throw people out.
And one way of looking at it is that it's a turn towards fascism.
It's possible.
But another way of looking at it is it is necessary to counter the negative effects of a spate of hyper-liberal illiberalism with hypo-liberal illiberalism.
That's a little confusing.
I'm sorry.
But one thing that we're doing is we are undoing some of the excesses with excesses that are currently in favor for this group.
