But first what the Hell is ouroboro?

Ouroboro is one of the oldest and most mysterious symbols in the history of humanity. We find it in different civilizations, from Egyptian to Greek, from Nordic to Indian. But what is Uroboro and why has it fascinated so many cultures?

Its representation of a snake biting its tail, without a beginning and without an end, suggests an eternal cycle: apparently motionless, but in eternal movement. Its symbolic meaning has had many interpretations, but in particular it represents the concept of eternity, cyclicity and rebirth. This cyclicity can be reviewed in the seasons, in life and death, and even in the cycle of the universe itself: a universal energy that is continually consumed and renewed.

Now that is out of the way….where am I going with this?

It is a deeper look at what is happening to the American society….

The ancient symbol of the ouroboros—a serpent devouring its own tail—has long represented the cyclical nature of life, destruction feeding creation, and the possibility of rebirth. In this sense, America today has entered what might be called the Ouroborean Age, an era in which society consumes its own institutions, norms, and public trust under the pressures of end-stage capitalism, political extremism, and ideological weaponization, yet with the potential for renewal if the cycle is recognized and interrupted. The assassination of Charlie Kirk, shocking in its violence and political symbolism, exemplifies this collapse of civility and law. America is not just polarized—it is tearing itself apart. The Constitution, once the ultimate safeguard, is under relentless assault. Citizens inhabit incompatible realities, each convinced that the other’s very existence endangers the nation. Leadership is catastrophically incompetent, and globally, autocracy is on the march. Never before has the republic faced such a convergence of recursive, mutually reinforcing dangers.

As Lincoln warned in 1858, “A house divided cannot stand.” Alexis de Tocqueville observed that “the health of a democratic society may be measured by the quality of functions performed by private citizens.” Those functions are eroding under division, disinformation, and civic disengagement. Plato, in The Republic, cautioned that when citizens are guided by fear and desire over reason, the state begins to consume itself from within. John Locke reminds us that government exists by the consent of the governed to protect life, liberty, and property; when that consent is undermined, the social contract unravels. And James Madison warned of the dangers: “The latent causes of faction are thus sown in the nature of man; and we see them everywhere brought into different degrees of activity.” What Madison could not have foreseen was the absolute rigidity of today’s partisan divides, which leave no room for compromise and transform political opponents into enemies of the state itself.

The destruction of society is almost complete….how far will we go to see the destruction of this once proud experiment?

Will the destruction be complete by the end of term for Donny?
