Matt Taibbi
I was a lapsing Christian, but in what direction was I lapsing? To nowhere, to nothingness. As absurd as the church was, it was an improvement over my actual life because there was at least a pretense of meaning there. Back in New York, I was just eating and taking up space, a depraved postmodern creature on the job, carrying pebbles up the media anthill.
Matt Taibbi, The Great Derangement: A Terrifying True Story of War, Politics, and Religion at the Twilight of the American Empire

But if I am certain of anything, it is that it is well within our power as citizens to return to a more civic and more confident democratic life, if we so choose. We do not have to remain slaves to our anger and our fears. We do not have to destroy our own traditions and institutions out of rage and resentment. We do not have to live this way. That is why I wrote this book.
Tom Nichols, Our Own Worst Enemy: The Assault from within on Modern Democracy
