It's not hopeless. If you don't like America, go out and vote, write your congressman, run for office, or find some other meaningful way to add something of value to the community in which we all live.
Respectfully Drew, may I draw your attention to House Resolution 758 in my post numbered 461 HERE
In that document alone one can see the entire edifice of the US democratic system in all it gory glory. 411 votes for. 10 against. It is a resolution to engage in war with Russia via destabilisation and black operations; to overthrow Putin and ensure Russia will be fragmented never to rise again as a counter force to US might.
This officially moves us back into another cold war - as if the first one was not bad enough. I have searched and striven, thus far in vain, to find a major media news story about this. Outside of the alternative media it is unreported, as far as I can tell, anyway.
No amount of voting will repair what is a contemptuously corrupt and broken system of power and corruption.
Apologies if this is slightly off topic. I'll leave it there.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
