It seems like there are no closed systems left, and that is wresting from everyone’s hands the ability to manage what’s happening. No more closed borders for nation states, closed info loops, even the contained ideologies and political categories are breaking down.

The left has always been fundamentally about control: of the individual, property, the levers of power. For one (big) thing, its materialist roots entail a world view that denies the existence of anything beyond the natural world, even individual consciousness and free will when you get right down to it.

It’s no wonder they’re fracturing along with their efforts to manage this increasingly open system we call life on earth. But this is one big can of whuppass, and it’s not just being opened up on them. Always Right @ 39 is, in this case, right; faith in particular is going to play a big role in how this turns out.
