by Paul Rosenberg
“We in the West, and Americans in particular, have fallen into a very serious trap: a trap we’ve known so long and so well that we accept it as a fact of life. To make this as clear as I can, I’ll state this problem in several ways. I’m quite sure you’ll recognize at least one of them: * We require continual doses of bad news. * We require outrages to react to. * Too long without some new evil to oppose and we become deeply uncomfortable. * Condemning bad things makes us feel righteous. The bottom line is that we’ve become unable to feel righteous, except in contrast to evil. That is simply the model nearly all of us have matured within.” (04/07/25)
