According to Nicolás Gómez Davila:
Man matures when he stops believing that politics
will solve his problems.
Politics is the pastime of empty souls.
With these aphorisms in mind, why should I care about potential war in the Middle East, and potential civil war in the USA?
I could say for either: Not my circus, not my monkeys; and worry about my son and our souls. But I can’t help myself and I want to watch the events and opine on them.
So basically, I don’t want the USA to get involved in the Middle East. I want Trump to prevail over the forces aligned against him.
It would be nice if I could go to Canada and enjoy a splendid isolation. It doesn’t seem that discussing politics while there will be productive.
It would be nice to live in a place where the likes of a Carney or a Trump or a Putin or a Xi or a Zelensky whatever damn fool in the Middle East don’t affect my life in the least.
