In Australia, we once had a saying; "only in America". There was even a TV show called that, with video clips of US crazy stuff. No one could believe Americans were so insane. The stuff Americans thought was normal was incredible...they lived on another planet. For example, there was a news story of a person tripping on some footpath that hadnt been fixed, so they sued the city for not fixing it. Can you imagine! That's just nuts. No one here thinks that anymore. We have become exactly like them, and Australians sue for tripping on cracks now too. It's all become normal. The slow decline into insanity that no one who's in it notices. A frog in boiling water. The yanks werent crazy; they were just leading the curve. Ive actually met a lot of Americans, and almost all of them were incredibly genuine, intelligent and interesting people. (Some people say that only good Americans travel, so they are the ones you meet, while the real nutcases stay home...who knows?) I cant work out how this craziness at a societal level works, when individuals can remain so sane. I do think a part of it is the "live and let live" attitude: it allows things to decline and corrupt. That's part of how Biden gets away with it; slipping of values. Only the law now determines actions, instead of morals, and when those in power discover they can change the law at will (or just pay lawyers to do the same), they become corrupt. Also: fuck all lawyers and anything involving insurance; they are purely corrupting.
