Really good post. Except this paragraph doesn't belong in it.Folks may of course think I'm way off the deep end, but that ever so common and warm and fuzzy idea about let's just split up, is NEVER going to be a solution. Just look at how folks fled the "corrupt democrat run states" for "freedom loving conservative states" only to find their states being Californicated at a rapid pace.
The good folks are way too happy to sit back after a single triumph and enjoy the good life and not want to fight anymore all the while making compromises and allowances for evil and sin because it's easier than doing the hard work of fighting.
It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. The true servants and worshipers of the Illuminated One (not the stupid fools acting out stuff they read in old Catholic books) have been working hard for generations towards their end goal of bringing all humanity under the rule of the Illuminated One. They work tirelessly and without relenting. They work at every level of society, and they don't stop. They loose, they simply buckle down and work harder to win the next time, they win and they only increase their efforts to gain more ground.
They don't care about laws, they control the laws, they don't care about money, they control the money, they don't have any problems with all this morals or conscience stuff, they are built on hate, fear and obedience to the will of the Illuminated One.
All this "societal decay" and "moral decay" and the stirring up of hatreds and beating the drums of anger, violence and war against your fellow man, along with all this preaching "redolence" and "live and let live" for truly wicked sins, all is part of a singular plan to drag down everything that was once good and strong until nothing can stand in their way and the masses are too weak and corrupted of mind to stand against them.
The next turn is the great sequence of events designed to make humans lose faith in their governments, their religions, their future, their leaders. Then when folks are broken, desperate and without hope or direction, they will show humanity the path of salvation by following the teachings of the Illuminated One.
Most of the peoples of the world will embrace the Illuminated One as their saviour.
Good folks could stop this, good folks could have stopped this but they didn't and they won't because they are too short sighted, too easily led astray, too eager to choose the easy path, too lazy, didn't want to be thought bad of, were too busy fighting each other over stupid stuff, and were too easy to manipulate.
This is not going to be one of those stupid books or movies where some silly little brat of a teenager wakes up one day and stumbles onto the Hero Path and magically defeats the plans of evil that have taken thousands of years to come to pass.
The hard times are coming, evil will have it's day in the Sun. Fight all you can, but at best, at this point it's a delaying action trying to hold the tide for as long as possible so the good folks who actually have their eyes open, have time to prepare in haste and build their keeps and be prepared for the dark days that WILL come, so they can survive through the dark times.

Nothing is going to stop what has been foretold.
Know the signs and be prepared (as best as you can) for a serious shit storm. It's on the horizon. This year, next year or maybe many years in the future I don't know. Nor does anyone except him that foretold it.
One thing that we, as Americans, have is the 2A. When the storm is at your door go out in a pile of brass. You may save yourself a lot of suffering.
