THE LIBRARIANS

THE LIBRARIANS, a 2025 film, chronicles the Christian Nationalist book banning and threats against librarians, causing many to flee Republican states for their lives. 

SURVIVAL IN A PREDATORY SOCIETY

By my calculations, only one one hundredth of one percent of Americans engage in holding their local government accountable on a regular basis, as opposed to the occasional event. Even if my calculations are off by a decimal point, that's darn few people doing research, education, and community organizing as part of their duty as citizens. Non-profits that fundraise on social themes but don't deliver don't count.

Shirking that duty are the other 99.99 % or so who are preoccupied with consumerism. We don't need social scientists to tell us that this is a dysfunctional society, incapable of benign change, or even the comprehensive understanding required for survival in a predatory society such as the United States.
