Why Our Systems Collapse

Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness

are ignored, a fragile system collapses. Usually, an iconic event reveals how vulnerable the country has become, and predictably occurs when suicidal ideologies and nihilism, in perfect-storm fashion, wreak havoc. The media, academia, the bureaucracy, and higher education can mask the dangers of their political agendas—at least until their sheer incompetence or toxicity can no longer be hidden or excused, and a predictable disaster ensues.
