Of course, when the bish and the people he covers for go away, the problems will as well - which is telling.
In the American series of crises, something collapses, and those who were oppressed receive a new birth of freedom. With the Revolution, colonial imperialism and noble privilege collapsed in America, and in the process came independence and freedom. With the Civil War slavery collapsed and power switched from the landowners to the robber barons. Many got more equality and opportunity. In FDR’s time, the government regulated the economy, and organized containment.
In each of these, the conservative effort to remain the same collapsed, and new values and policies that solved the crisis were established and passed on. The society thrived.
So what are the crisis issues of today? In Black Lives Matter there was police prejudice killing and spree killing of not just black minorities, protesting toward an end of prejudice and more equality. In abortion there was an attempt by religious fanatics to spread their religious doctrine to unbelievers, countered by a press for independence and freedom. In the insurrection there was opposition to rule of law. In Covid there was money valued over lives.
It isn’t
just because one side is called conservative that that side collapses. It is not a coincidence that with the collapse of the old ideas the new ideas which resulted in ‘social collapse’ seem to many like a new birth of freedom. S&H crises are the mechanism by which a culture improves itself, with the values which forced the 'collapse' passed on in the new culture.
So go ahead. Oppress minority communities. Follow a criminal. Try to force your culture on others. Whine about the society collapsing. Has it occurred that parts of the society, those that present the most problems, are supposed to collapse? That is the whole idea?
