Comment on Why does it seem like Americans have become so hateful and destructive in the past years?

  1. We’re a lot of different cultures all mixed in over a large swath of land. That melting pot regularly reaches a boiling point.

  2. We pray to Capitalism. It is all important. All else is secondary to the almighty dollar. Many of our politicians are bought out and our legislation is determined by money. Greed guides our decision making processes.

  3. The internet has broken many of our brains, although that’s not just an American thing. I’ve been around long enough to have witnessed our politics go absolutely bonkers and the timeline coincides with everyone starting to carry around devices that give them access to the internet at all times. We simply aren’t educated enough as a whole to be immune or resistant to misinformation.

Personally, I don’t see our situation getting any better any time soon. It will probably get quite a bit worse, actually.
