28 November 2025 | How It Ends

The scope of American failure is pretty astonishing, I have to admit. Our system has, effectively, collapsed and we are all merely laboring under the illusion that somehow things will be fixed or okay.

We are not the tough people we insisted we are. We are not the hignly ethical people we shoot our mouths off about. All collapses like ours are not sudden things, so yes, the rot has been there for a long time, but the eagerness of soooo many across the federal government to burn things down is surprising even to the most jaded among us. The collapse of our institutions has been swift after so many sacrificed to build them up.

It doesn’t end with a bang, but with the sheer obseisance of thousands of techno-bureaucratic Little Eichmanns who have bleated out, “How may I serve?”
