Editor's Note: U.S. Families Turning Vicious, Going Feral on One Another
Dmitry Orlov has published a letter from another Russian now living in the u.S. that I would put in the "must read" category. In short, now that many Americans can not afford to drive anywhere (because of chronic joblessness) are stuck in suburban homes that have morphed into "toxic wombs", the only information from the outside world piped in from Fox News: An excerpt, emphasis mine:
I feel the pernicious influence of this catastrophe on my own family right here and now . . . You don't have to be a brilliant visionary to realize that in the current situation all these endless suburbs, built on the North American model, are slowly but surely turning into mass graves for the millions of former members of the middle class. My family is turning feral under my very eyes. Lack of resources has forced us to live according to the Soviet model - three generations under one roof. There are six of us, of which only one works, who is, consequently, exasperated and embittered. The rest of the household is gradually going insane from idleness and boredom. The television is never turned off. The female side of the family has been sucked into social networks and associated toys.
Everyone is cultivating their own special psychosis, and periodically turns vicious. In these suburbs, a person without a car is as if without legs, and joblessness does not allow any of us to earn money for gas, and so the house is almost completely isolated from the outside world. The only information that seeps in comes from the lying mass media. And I understand that millions of families throughout America live this way! This is how people turn into "teabaggers," while their children join street gangs. Click Here for the Full Article
