Only by acknowledging the evil caused by the simultaneous presence of racism, materialism, and militarism, will it be remotely possible for the United States to take the first few halting steps

    The article isn't as egregiously bad as its title suggests.

    In recent months, more than a few stressed-out observers of the American scene have described 2020 as this nation’s Worst. Year. Ever. Only those with exceedingly short memories will buy such hyperbole.

    It's still lib shit though. The author blames America's troubles on the ideals of racism, materialism, and militarism, i.e. we all just have the wrong mentality about things and that's why everything is bad. No historical materialism to be found. I do think it's funny that the author specifies "extreme" materialism, because commodifying every facet of life a little bit is good I guess.
