    That we think in absolutes, and either are hyper violent or apathetic, both of which lead to no real resolution? Yeah, definitely a real problem.

      I’m no expert here but I believe it is called: Populism en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Populism

      The core part of Populism is a leader who goes around that the established systems are broken and how only they can fix it. It is massively destabilizing on both sides.

      Rant:

      Is is a seriously bad sign when people want to go on killing spree. It feels like these days you are ether expected to support Trump and all of his madness and human rights violations or be ready to support mass reforms and even violence. Can I not support Trump while not wanting to start executing people? Last time I checked the courts were a very powerful enemy of Trump. They have repeatedly stepped in his way of his power. The courts take a long time to do anything but they are absolute when they decide on something. If you overthrow the systems of power you end up with a dictator and even totalitarianism. I do not support mass deportations especially when they are completely violating peoples rights. However, that doesn’t mean I have to support a violent uprising. Last time I checked that didn’t work well for the capital rioters.

        What? You mean the people that faced no consequences for their insurrection? Seems like it worked out quite well for them.

        You should look around. You have installed a dictator. One that you ensured had unlimited power through your court system. One that no one seems to be willing to defy or confront.

    Honestly I wish it was just the US. However, I have a feeling these things will start happening on a global scale as misinformation spreads.

  It’s at the point where the president wants to deport citizens for not being white enough, it’s about to to stop chilling.

  First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

  Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

  Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

  Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
