There are many radical, immoral people trying to ruin things
Those of us in the biz call them "Americans"
Also friendly reminder that Americans are collectively beyond reformation and the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. :JB-shining-aggro:
All War is Class War etc, etc. But "everything is always bad and getting worse" is an attitude as blinkered and naive as "everything is always good and getting better".
Ask anyone fleeing the hot zone in Syria or Eritrea whether the US is "in a civil war that took a new form" and they'll look at you like you're fucking bonkers. Americans who desperately yearn for some kind of national civil conflict have absolutely no idea what they're asking for. Americans who think they're in a national civil conflict have absolutely no idea what they're missing.
Things could be a lot better in this country with better leadership and better policy. They could also get significantly worse if the current batch is replaced by the next generation of idiots and assholes. But people who bitch about bad traffic or whine because a chip shortage means they can't get an XBox for Christmas have no notion of what a war zone looks like.
