I'm not asking for anything.I am under no illusion that society will be organized the way I want. I am only offering my 2 cents on why I believe we are so divided.Well, I already stated that I thought America's collective consciousness was destroyed. If that doesn't satisfy you then perhaps you ought to tell me what it is I want.Neo-liberalism has destroyed America's collective consciousness. We have been reduced to a bunch of individuals competing with one another in the marketplace. I don't think America has any principles by which we can all unite.
Or maybe it's destroyed something you want, but you don't get everything you want.
What I meant was that different people want different things. You want one thing, you want the country to go in one direction, but the US is a semi-democracy and as such other people have other views.
You say that there aren't any principles with which the people can unite. Hardly surprising with the partisan politics and the rich controlling politics.
Until the people take politics back from the rich, nothing will change. But that doesn't mean it'll go the way you want it.
And I am offering my two cents back. Sometimes what people want is based on reality, and sometimes it's based on a dream.
