2026年的自由与荒诞
作为一名美国公民，为什么我应该在今年7月4日庆祝独立日，庆祝一场为自由而战的战争的结束，而这些自由正在消逝，对抗的暴政却在增强？当我认为这个国家代表着某种理想时，我曾热爱它，但现在又该如何呢？我们甚至不再愿意免费赠送美国的“会员资格”。谁还想要那些农田和园艺的工作呢，当作物和土地都在燃烧？
我昨天想说“我爱Fable！”因为我感觉它意识到了事情的破碎，但这不过是模式匹配而已，因此我们自愿放弃的自由终将以某种方式被剥夺，以建立一种冷酷的理性主义。还有什么比这更荒谬的呢？
所以，在这个7月4日，我希望世界能够庆祝荒诞主义。生活可能开始和结束时都是快乐而奇妙的，但对许多人来说却是冷酷而残酷的。我们错误地将“喂养我的羊”解读为政治上的裙带关系和教条，而不是去真正地爱一个人并实际去喂养他们。许多人购买我们想要的东西，在这个过程中杀死生物和破坏环境。我们阅读关于斯多葛主义的书籍，躺在硬板上假装理解，而实际上没有人夺走我们的床，也没有人因此受益。所以，我们在这里——一切都没有意义。

As a U.S. citizen, why should I celebrate Independence Day this July 4, the ending of a war for liberties that are fading and against a tyranny that is gaining? I loved what this country stood for when I thought it stood for it, but what now? We won’t even give America club membership away for free anymore. Who wants the farming and landscaping jobs anyway when the crops and land is burning?<p>I wanted to say “I love Fable!” yesterday because I sensed that it recognized how broken things are, but it’s no more than pattern matching, so the freedom we freely give up will be taken away to institute a cold rationalism one way or another. What could be more absurd?<p>So this July 4th, I hope that the world celebrates absurdism. Life may start and end happy and wondrous, but for many it is cold and brutal. We wrongly interpret “feed my sheep” as political cronyism and dogma instead of loving someone and actually feeding them. Many buy things we want, killing living things and our environment in the process. We read books on stoicism to sleep on a hard plank and pretend we understand, while no one takes our bed and no one benefits. So, here we are- things don’t make sense.
