You’re not factoring in here the data about religion that I’m citing, which is my whole argument.

Simply because I agree with you. It’s arguably the serious problem America faces, and one which will lead us to dangerous situations. As we’ve already seen all too well.

I do question if we’re “doomed” though. Seems a trifle too black pilled for me: People can - and frequently do - pick up religion as they get older and realise they don’t know all the answers. Solomon and the Book of Ecclesiastes spring to mind.

For example, look at how female opinions on transgender acceptance has changed drastically in the last four years.

Possibly we have a different definition of the words, because while I see the situation as unquestionably dangerous, I don’t think it is utterly hopeless.

I think “black hole-pilled” would be a good way to summarize my perspective on humanity in general and America’s cultures in particular. 😁

😂 Lol yes. I think most people are orbiting that these days! I think one of the beauties of Israel is the public determination to strive in hope. It’s certainly the feeling I get when I travel there (but that was all pre-Oct 7).
