'The Mad & The Free': Can American Society Debate Its Way Out Of Psychosis?

James Howard Kunstler's piece "The Mad & The Free" explores the idea that American society may be spiraling into a state of psychosis, questioning whether open debate alone can resolve deep-seated issues. Kunstler highlights chaotic scenes at the Delaney Hall ICE building, suggesting that the nation's political and social dysfunction is reaching absurd levels. This raises important questions about the effectiveness of dialogue in addressing systemic problems and underscores the urgency for more decisive action to restore order and sanity.
