What I believe will be our downfall is that Americans hate each other way worse than any foreign army who has guns and tanks pointed towards us…..
I hope I am wrong about that.

People hate and show animosity to one another online more than they do in real life. When people are face to face with each other, the rules of engagement seem to soften. The internet and social media are what's actually giving the illusion of mass bitterness. That is exactly what the politicians corporations, banks, insurance, and religious leaders want by cococting conspiracy theories and fake culture wars. The people aren't the problem. I wish more people understood that.

@TrashCat Yep, completely agree. The internet is the Red Light District of humanity and I believe it encourages engagement and with it, some varying amount of national empathy.
Its not bad to disagree with each other, it would just be so much more productive if it was an adults only stage where non-adults, of any age, are relegated to the under 18 sites.

@Vin53 Yes. I takes the humanity out of our communication with one another. I'm guilty as hell of that crime myself and don't typically converse with people in person like I do online during discourse. I often feel like I'm a bit harsh, but my stubborness rarely lets me retract my comments...but do so on occasion.
