Get Over It > "God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers?" — Friedrich Nietzsche ## The Trouble With America The trouble with America isn't that its God died. All Gods die. The trouble is that nobody will throw Baby Jesus out with the bathwater. Europe watched its sacred order get blown apart in its own streets, so it learned how to grieve. America got rich and powerful without paying that price. Now it keeps the corpse in the house, setting a plate for Baby Jesus at every meal like he's napping. You're thinking, "But people still believe. The churches may be empty, but it's the internet age. They get their sermons from the Youtubes now." Sure, the sermon moved online. The god didn't. Preachers with algorithms, prophets with podcasts. Same liturgy, different building. The church went digital, but the body stayed right there in the room. Attendance isn't faith — it's habit, and it's grief y'all won't admit to. ![](https://blog.luxsp4rk.xyz/content/images/2026/08/Gemini_Generated_Image_ocj9cxocj9cxocj9.jpeg) Pass the potatoes, and don't mind the sheet on the couch. He's napping. He's been napping since '63. --- ## How The Boomers Got So Evil The old continent couldn't pretend the old gods survived the trenches or the firebombings. The rubble was right there to prove it. Existentialism rose from those ruins, the philosophy of a continent that had watched its own altars fall. America saw the 20th century from the cheap seats. The wars happened to somebody else. Nobody firebombed Dallas. The myth took root: *we are exempt from the tragic cycles of history.* Instead of burying God, America dressed him in a new 3 piece suit. ### America's New Trinity ### *The market.* The Invisible Hand took over for divine grace. Win the market and you're blessed. Go broke and it's not bad luck, it's sin. "If you're not first, you're last" — that's the whole gospel, and we've been preaching it at the dinner table since we could talk. The ledger became the confession booth. Markets are fine as markets. The trouble starts when one becomes the church. A god that mistakes luck for virtue will bury you at the first bad harvest. ### *Politics.* Elections stopped being about who fixes the roads. Every campaign became a crusade, a battle between the saved and the damned. The dead man still votes. When politics is a holy war, nobody governs. Compromise is apostasy. Shake hands with the enemy and your own side burns you at the stake. The bridges rust, the schools starve, the rent eats the paycheck. That's the evil of it: the crusade is the product. It keeps half the country furious at the other half so nobody notices the collection plate passing right down the aisle. ### *Culture war.* No shared God, so the culture keeps staging witch trials. Moral panics every season, so everyone can feel righteous without changing a thing. A witch trial is cheaper than a road repair. Ban the book, cancel the comedian, crucify the wrong quote. Instant righteousness, zero infrastructure. The panic is the new church service: same catharsis as Sunday, same feeling of standing with the angels, and the offering it collects is your attention. Every season needs a fresh witch. A country that lost its God still needs somebody to burn. It's cheaper than burying the body, and it keeps the pews full. --- ## A Nation of Crashouts or The Nation That Hates Itself All the stand-ins are failing at once. *The state that hates itself.* The state runs on market dogma — "government is the problem." It starves its own roads, its food safety, its public health. Then it points at the rot and says: see? Told you. And the anger has nowhere to go, so it boils over, and boom. 2020: lockdowns in March, panic-buying in April, protests in June, an election siege in November. 2021: vaccines, then no masks, then the economy on fire. By 2022 we had to pretend none of it happened. New year, new reality — new norms, new taboos, new monsters under the bed. Americans go through this whiplash every other year, and each time the crash leaves more wreckage and nobody to answer for it. As I write this, it's 2026: War with Iran, the Epstein files dumped, the country swinging full isolationist overnight. History-making news, one after another — and it all washes over. The stock market is still in free fall and nobody even remembers what started it. Six months ago this would've been a national nervous breakdown. Now it's just a season. That's the real crashout: not the collapse, but how fast the country can absorb one and ask what's next — the lava pit right there, closer and gnarlier by the minute. Everybody wants a villain. That's the whole game. And the blame? It turns inward. ![](https://blog.luxsp4rk.xyz/content/images/2026/08/Gemini_Generated_Image_n181ohn181ohn181.jpeg) Uncle Sam's had the wheel since the original Thanksgiving. He's dead, but he always knew where we were going, so nobody wants to be the one to move him ## Baby Jesus Ain't Managing The Decline The nation stares at itself in the mirror of the media, doesn't like what it sees, so somebody has to pay. The ruling class points at foreigners and subversives. The public returns the favor. And the guilt, with nowhere to go, turns inward. "Grieve? What is there to grieve? A nation of reprobates and flunkies, punished to the point of extermination — that's divine justice. Let it burn." Let the ship sink, then. The crash is the dead god's last ruling, and America reaps what it sowed. But justice doesn't bury the body. Grief was never for the dead — the dead are past caring. Grief is for the living, so they don't carry the corpse into the next house and set another plate for Baby Jesus. But don't think for a second that Baby Jesus will save you. Or that Uncle Sam is managing the nation's decline. These are childish notions for a childish people — sitting at a table set for a dead god, yelling at each other with much rage and impotence, that the sky has fallen. Skip the funeral and you don't escape justice — you just become the next nation driving its dead god into the reef, blaming the rocks, the crew, the weather, their Gods — never themselves. ---
