Marine and the Hippie 211127 S01E33- The Season of Winter

The Marine and the Hippie

In this dialogue, we discuss the arrival of the season of Winter, metaphorically, for our society. Winter is seen as the season of leanness and struggle, of a fight for survival. As we leave the era of abundance in our society as a whole and enter into a season of manufactured and deliberate scarcity, created by the greed and selfishness of those who have, the option left for those who do not have enough to survive and yet need to survive anyway becomes violence. We lose the veneer of society and civility when survival becomes a serious concern in our lives. And this is where are are at as a society: it has arrived as sure as the summer of abundance gives way to colder winds, harsher environments, and shortages that life experiences in the winter. The only thing that can change this for people at least is good policy adopted by wise leaders who are both capable and willing to do what is necessary for the survival of society itself. Without that, violence is guaranteed to be more common, and people will resort less to reason and more to simple brute force.
