John,

Do you remember the early 2000's? And how everyone talked about the freemarket and all that? Did we really have a freemarket? No of course not, but it gave alot of people something to believe in. DEI is the same thing. Killing religion and stepping into the vacuum was genius.

Indeed, killing religion was central to what's going on. Cue Nietzsche's Madman speech for a spot-on explanation for the anomie experienced by secular, Western man.

It's gonna get worse, Mr. House, as churches capitulate to the spirit of the times.

After quite a few go rounds on this earth i've come to accept that most people are average. They aren't good, they aren't bad, just so terribly average.

DEI could also be described thus (since you mentioned him):

тАЬHe who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster . . . when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into youтАЭ

Right.

I had a talk with someone completely unconcerned with our nation''s corruption and downward trajectory. As long as they collect his garbage every week and respond to his 911 calls, he couldn't give a flip about what's going on. Plus, NFL playoffs! Go (insert local team)!

Its funny, having a political sign in your yard is essentially the equivalent of having your favorite sports ball team flag hanging from your porch.
