Tonight I read two commentaries by immigrant writers who are very alarmed by recent trends in the United States. They claim to have been where we are now, and both are trying to shake us awake. An intro paragraph follows each title. Click the title to read the whole article. I want to believe both writers are functioning as prophets whose main contribution is to announce what they see and to motivate others to take the actions which will change the course of history and render the prophecy moot:
I Lived Through Collapse. America Is Already There
I lived through the end of a civil war. Do you know what it was like for me? Quite normal. I went to work, I went out, I dated. This is what Americans don’t understand. They’re waiting to get personally punched in the face while ash falls from the sky. That’s not how it happens.
We Don’t Know How to Warn You Any Harder. America is Dying.
We Survivors of Authoritarianism Have a Message America Needs to Hear: This is Exactly How it Happens, and It’s Happening Here.
