Something to Read: Where are the Thought Police?

The phrase reaching the point of no return means you now have to continue with what you are doing whether you like it or not.

There is no effort powerful enough to reverse what’s been done, that it’s not even worth trying to fix.

So many chances to make things better, yet someone or a collective group didn’t have the courage to step up and make change.

Now some would consider modern day society to be at this point.

A point that writer Johnathan Bi explains as:

American political discourse is deteriorating into two opposing echo chambers. They both betray a conformity in opinion and intolerance towards dissension that could not, by any stretch of the imagination, be identified as "liberal". The furious blows between these political tribes is unrecognizable as a free marketplace of ideas. And the conformity and intolerance within them is a far cry from the intellectual freedoms promised in the First Amendment.

You’d think this essay would be some elementary list of complaints of how the government sucks — far from true.

This is far more eloquent than just a written tirade. It’s an essay about how culture fuels policy.

It’s a dissection of hypocrisy, cultural norms, and the state of affairs that effect you as well as me.

And for the non-American readers: There is a good chance can see how similar, yet different our political cultures operate.
