This entire thread brings tears to my eyes. The entire world is such a cursed mess and so much worse than it should be. I fear for my children. Our youngest son was married this last Saturday to a truly wonderful young woman who only wants to be a good 1958 Catholic. She is of Czech ancestry and very intelligent. Also kind and good. She wore a brown scapular under her wedding dress and told her Mom that she intends to never take it off.

I think you first started writing about that fundamental difference about a year ago, but once you see it... that focus on efficiency and impersonal rules permeates every social interaction here in the Teutonic parts of Europe. It's insidious, hiding in plain sight, slowly normalizing increased levels of dehumanization.

Can't see the frog jumping out of the pot anytime soon. You're right about forming communities
