National Divorce: It's Time

• https://www.lewrockwell.com By Tom Woods

Whether it's Black Lives Matter, or teaching gender theory to children, or the usefulness or otherwise of the COVID restrictions, or a wide variety of other subjects, people on one side of the divide have exerted a moral imperialism over the other, refusing even to acknowledge that there can be another side on issues like these, and have instead tried to drive their opponents from polite society through intense social pressure and the outright suppression of dissident voices.

The same people who lecture us day and night about how we shouldn't "impose our morality" on other people think absolutely nothing of demonizing half of America and imposing their ideas on other people's children.

Scarcely anyone stops to ask: is this arrangement making us happy? Is it contributing to human flourishing?

To the contrary, it's causing conflict, suspicion, anger, and frustration – and everyone knows it.

Yet for some reason we carry on, as if continuing down this path will somehow lead to a different result, even though any fool can see that things are only going to get worse.

The media, meanwhile, are happy to fan the flames of social conflict, but never urge us to consider the humane possibility of a world in which we simply don't do this anymore.

My new eBook National Divorce, which I am giving away for free, offers a radical proposal: how about we just stop?
