"... sure, of course it's probably an exaggeration to say that the end of Western civilization is upon us, I suppose that'd be a bit hysterical… but then one can't help but wonder what's up when the dominant political party in the US has decided its signature law, Obamacare, is a good thing precisely because as the CBO points out it dramatically encourages people to avoid work, or gainful employment as an antique generation may have quaintly yclept it in a bygone day... for liberals it seems this glorious achievement is an ennobling liberation of the human spirit, a proud invocation to a new age… no longer must the much put upon modern man endure hardship and sacrifice and apply himself towards some practical end that benefits his family and the society as a whole... no, freed from such dreary expectations and responsibilities, he is now at liberty to sit at home and be subsidized by a loving government in the endless diddling of his XBox or whatever other triviality fills his perpetually infantilized fancy… and yes of course every four years if it's not too much bother rouse himself from a stupor in order to stumble out and throw a vote at the idiot who promises to maintain this glorious new status quo ad infinitum… but hell, even there the good news is that given the wonders of the internet the great imposition of rousing oneself and stumbling out may soon not even be a required prerequisite for the continuation of this most splendid enlightenment… just push a button and fall back asleep… it's almost as if the coming legalization of pot is a preparatory step designed to acclimate us to the new stupefied normal… embrace the suck… fill your lungs with the great liberal dream of inert contentment and the smiling idiocy of progressive lassitude and just simply sit back and chill, dude… it's all good..."
