...we could read Bob Boldt’s April 4, 2018 column, “Boldt Words & Images: Martin Luther King Jr. & Me.”
Says Bob:
[That column] is a reflection on MLK I wrote a few years back. As our civilization completes its inexorable decline into madness and chaos, I cherish the many “ironic points of light” I have personally known in my life. I intend to spend the balance of my allotted span here resisting and rebelling against our death culture and the pernicious hope for a return to a “normal” that has never existed.
Camus has never been more relevant than at this present moment in American history:One of the only coherent philosophical positions is revolt. It is a constant confrontation between man and his obscurity. It is not aspiration, for it is devoid of hope. That revolt is the certainty of a crushing fate, without the resignation that ought to accompany it.

Thanks for the repost.
ReplyDeleteIn researching the Camus quotation, I discovered the blog Miscellaneous Material and its revolutionary post, ”Chris Hughes, Death of the Liberal Class, chapter VI / Rebellion. In case anyone is interested in learning more about “the revolt.”
