Such a fascinating piece. I agree with Reena, here, about the repeating themes that are still so relevant today. What does it mean to truly believe in your country enough to call yourself a patriot? A great question for all of us to ponder as the upcoming presidential election looms over us.
Very interesting! So many themes repeating themselves today ie., our march towards greater control and authoritarianism, limiting of dissent and calls to a single truth - sometimes ironically in the name of science - all bear witness to this tendency. I can’t decide if this is a cycle that we’ll overcome or a descent necessitated by a loss of meaning...(multiple causes)
Definitely an interesting thing to wonder. What can we decide means anything if it's just up to us? And how do we know if anything has meaning if we can't achieve the critical mass that gives us the scale of validating that chosen meaning?

Pithy and chilling.
