Corrupt institutions could do nothing if there were no members of law enforcement, from the local police to FBI agents, willing to act as the brute enforcers of state dictates.

In this moment of hope emerging from the almost unbelievable set of constitutionally informed Supreme Court rulings on freedom of religion, gun rights, and abortion, it's easy to imagine the tide has turned.

• Alas, even rulings as monumental as those of the past week are no antidote to the generations of cultural poison that continues to be mainlined into American society.
• Human nature is the same across races, ethnicities, and nationalities. What was different in these situations were the culture-supported systems, or lack of them, put in place that allowed all of the worst of human nature to flourish.
• American human nature is like all others.

Abuses of Power

• Since COVID, it has been clear that most of the response was on behalf of the power of the state and favor pharmaceutical firms
• During the pointless lockdowns, we witnessed a mother arrested in Idaho for taking her child to the park, a lone individual surfing and another walking on the beach in California were also arrested, among endless other examples
• We saw businesses raided for defying state orders to shut down seeing that their big chain competitors across the street were allowed to stay open
• People dragged out of public places for not wearing ineffectual face masks or not showing vaccination papers

Crumbling Foundations

• Until the mid-20th century, America had systems in place that provided checks on human nature running rampant
• The balance of powers instituted between branches of the federal government and the states actually drew upon the inevitability of human nature turning toward rapaciousness to create a natural friction that kept all of the government entities in check
• Human nature at each level and in the various branches would work in ways that kept checks on all the others
• But none of that is in place like it was
• Too many of the American people are no longer religious or moral in any grounded, traditional way
• Congress has ceded large swathes of power to the executive branch because for generations, the majority of members of Congress chose the expediency of re-election over everything else
