"I’m not sure the United States is worth saving at this point. . ." While I love your post and agree with its thrust entirely, this particular line troubles me.
Paul Simon wrote a beautiful, and somewhat frightening, song about just what you’re talking about. Nothing lasts forever. Still, I think there’s time, and hopefully, the will, for America to do better.
Agreed. Of course the US is worth saving. When you look at the rest of the world’s powers we’re the only ones able to keep totalitarian regimes like China, Russia, Iran, and NKorea at bay. I really liked the essay, otherwise.
Individualism is not "philosophy" it is the axiomatic inalienable condition of human existence. Period.
The key word here, and it is a Propositional word, is 'inalienable'. It cannot be given away, taken away, or ignored. In order for individual accountability/responsibility to exist - individualism must therefore exist.
It is the inherently Logically fallacious notion that 'individualism' is merely pedantic philosophy that is without merit.
Individualism is not speculative.
Individualism is undeniable.
Individualism is inalienable.
Individualism is axiomatic.
Individualism is the most fundamental condition of human existence.
Moreover, individualism doesn't require permission, nor approval, and ALL those who would interfere with the individual Right to exist unmolested, with Freedom, Liberty, and Independence is a fool or a criminal without regard for their own existence and therefore deserves to pay the ultimate price for their arrogantly-ignorant assault.
The Wisdom of the original founders of the United States of America is based in the certain congruent Truth of Logic, not some pedantic philosophy.
The problem with America is the cowardice, and intellectual-laziness of American citizens to do their civic duty and get their hands dirty holding the Public Servants they vote for accountable to the letter of Constitutional Law. After all, that is the Law. That is the specified purpose of Constitutional Militias as prescribed by Constitutional Law!
Every Human Being is capable of speaking, and writing, in clear Logically certain Propositional Statements, but they choose not to, even if they have been indoctrinated to choose fiction/fantasy over rational Logically certain Truth.

This view troubles a great many of people, especially conservatives.
I get it. It troubles me too.
But nothing lasts forever. The US won't either, and I don't think it deserves to. We're an empire now, and not a noble or benevolent one.
A peaceful separation is unlikely to happen, but I think it would be the best thing that could happen to Americans if it was allowed to happen.
I totally understand that most Americans don't agree with me and aren't ready yet to contemplate this, which is why I rarely speak on it.
