I woke up from my post-work nap to see a text from a friend. The text was a link to a local news site describing the death of a cyclist that occurred yesterday (Sunday, May 10, 2020). Seeing as I cycle with some regularity in urban and semi-urban environments (with mad Carolina drivers to boot) I decided to upload a video on how to avoid getting hit by motorists.

The guy with the shitty 2006 Chrysler is wealthier than Mustang Mama. An examination of the dumb limbic monkey-shit I see daily on the road. Tied pretty tidily to broader points about societal decay made by Peter Hitchens.
I talk about an unfairly maligned bit of wackiness called October Faction and discuss an otherwise decent publications rather overzealous critique of China/CCP.
I continue the discussion of civilizational decline. With an examination of the difference between principle and allegiance and what this means for the rule of law.

How the lack of a skeptical mindset has led to monopolies that create huge supply line problems; as all centralized systems of business and government do.

Peter Hitchens does a rather excellent job of describing our decline. It is not the moralist’s self-righteous ramblings that Hitchens brings to the table. But, rather a very tangible, quantifiable, decay in standards and practices that affect everything from personal interactions to jurisprudence.
Just today whilst on a check-out line, the gentleman ahead of me announced to the cashier how he was part of a Facebook group that ‘spied on crazy people.’
I discuss why this Stasi like behavior is concerning and tie it to Hitchens admonishments.
Finally, I launch into a discussion of Peter Hitchen’s 2018 appearance on Good Morning Britain. Thanks, for listening.

I review some excellent points Peter Hitchens made regarding the cultural decline that’s led our society and institutions to abdicate principals of individual rights, rule of law, and other ideals.
Said ideals being integral to the success of not only England and America but any country that wants a similar outcome – this is troubling, to say the least.
