anything goes, nothing matters, and nobody cares

A recent article by James Howard Kunstler begins: “History has a special purgatory where it sometimes stashes feckless nations punch drunk on their own tragic choices: the realm where anything goes, nothing matters, and nobody cares.

And concludes: “the rule of law extinct in this country, but so are public figures of principle and credible news organs.”
