I'm here to gather information and get informed, Don, not to join a cult. In fact, i don't know anything about a cult worshipping Kunstler as you suggest. The reason I am encouraged reading this essay is that the Biden Administration and the Obama Administration before it went out of their way to promote an unbalanced view of American life. Celebrating transgenderism, mandating experimental injections, vilifying those who refused the shotds, ignoring the debacle at the southern border, and soaring inflation drove me away from the left and toward the right. To read and become informed here is an independent decision made by this former and lifelong Democrat who was appalled by the choices and priorities of the Biden Administration. I might add I was also repelled by Nancy Pelosi's plan to invade private homes, remove persons testing positive for covid, and inter them in quarantine camps. All of this drove me straight to the Republican side of the discussion. I arrived here not in cultlike obedience but out of my own free will. I want to see the other side of what I'd been hearing for decades.

I thought an overthrow of a government took weapons. Hmmm

As an anarchist, though, I could suggest that the nation-state is a cult, Don, and way worse than cults in general. I've also come across some folks online who think, and have argued, that the nation-state is even a religion.
