Johannes claimed that "America has a 'morality problem'", But he can't point to any other nation that has it better. Which leads to the logical conclusion that his problem is with the entire world.

I'm not sure that he does. Don't hate her, I fear her - and rightly so. Government is fire. Stay far enough away from it, it warms. Get too close, it burns. I fear being forced too close. It is very clear that America is already too close and of a general mind to get closer. I think it is too late for her and am testing my view against my ideological opponents to see their responses. So far, they have been precisely as I have expected. I should also say that I intentionally do not share here many of my earnest beliefs. Mind, I am not lying. I do believe what I am saying, unless I state otherwise. But sometimes I take a very hard position, harder than I in fact hold, to see if the opponent can overthrow it. I don't hate America. But she is rudderless and doomed. I fear her.
