Is the American divisive, hateful and intolerant culture pushing psychotics over the edge?

The sad irony here is that the anger, disinformation and division are promoted heavily by Chinese and Russian internet campaigns. That's right. The actual communists are playing Trumpster idiots as marks. And they don't even realize it.

No doubt our enemies are loving this.

I think it's pretty clear that those who have a vested interest in stoking anger, disinformation and division are winning. Worse, I'm seeing zero (0) indication that there is any relief in sight.

Duck Fakey

The most destructive influence is teaching HATE as a means to win, you think its a better way? So you RUIN maybe a better way by teaching HATE to archive it. Using Elvis as a destructive influence just gave him more attention, And as a young person watching Elvis on Ed Sullivan show, the Only way he influenced me was l liked his music.

Where am I teaching hate?

Every generation loses trust in their parents and rebelled against the way they were raised. Every. Single. One. But American Republicans are determined not to let their children challenge the status quo. They've completely poisoned their childrens' minds against the Democrats, aided and abetted by their preachers.

The radical right is now so afraid their children will grow up to be liberals, they're trying to end public school education, on the grounds that teachers are "indoctrinating" their children. WTF do they think that all-white Christian schools are doing by denying climate change, evolution, or science.

Virginity pledges and ceremonies have given the USA a generation of apple cheeked young women willing to do everything but have normal vaginal sex with their boyfriends, because they need to be "virgins" on their wedding night. They promised Daddy. Blow jobs, anal sex - things that my generation of hippy girls hadn't even heard of, and would have considered disgusting, your twisting right wing morality has created in their daughters.

Uh, perhaps you haven't noticed, but conservatism is AGAINST the status quo. Being a young Republican IS being rebellious today, and the ultimate rebellion is to be a young black female Republican. Being a liberal democrat is easy in the US today.

You're falling to appreciate the valuable service the trolls are providing in this thread. We're discussing divisive, intolerant, hateful culture - but only in the abstract. They're providing us with tangible, real-life examples. Nothing brings the point home more succinctly.

Well, I think they're proud to do it. Remember, they are driven by rage, grievance and paranoia. Normal standards of reason and behavior no longer apply. They want damage, they want to break things, and they're waging a war.

"Freedom causes insanity". More left wing logic.

Lennin butchered his opposistion with power from the state. Used socialist agenda to do so. Was a proud communist. Happened in a time of chaos after Russia surrrndered wwi

Single party rule for the win!!!

Heil!

No, dumbass. Rule by the majority in accordance with the basic principle of democracy.

Democracy blows. That's why we have Constitutionally limited government. It saves us from ourselves. But it's been watered down, and now we're driving ourselves into a hole with overreaching majority rule.

 

[eagle1462010]

No, dumbass. Rule by the majority in accordance with the basic principle of democracy.

Not a pure demacracy but a republic. Pure democracy is tyranny of 50 plus 1 over 50 minus 1

I struggled where to put this thread, but in reality it begins and ends with how divisive politics is ruining our nation.

Best estimates, people with psychopathy make up about .6% of the population.
So out of every 1000 people... there are approximately 6 people who are psychotic.
The vast majority of psychotics never harm other people. In fact, historically it is less than 1 in 200.
Having said that, a person with psychosis has a much -much greater chance of becoming violent than the normative population.

Thinking guns is the reason why some teenagers are going on murderous rampages is tragically simplistic.
Our nation has not been this divided since probably the civil war. Arguably.
With the internet, kids can be bombarded with divisive, hateful speech and images. They can go to places like 4chan and see and discuss the most violent topics and find others who agree.
Is this creating monsters??
A psychopaths going to these websites, seeing the hate and anger on the news... seeing the hate and division in their schools... is this enough to increase the likelihood a psychopath committing homicide?

society is sick, no doubt

We need Jesus... but people hate his Church... attack it

defy it... reject it... So things will not change much any time soon

In a democracy, if the people don't like what the 50% plus one do, they can vote them out.

That's what you wingnuts are really afraid of. If the politicians don't have an excuse for failing, they'll have to do the dumbass things that they promise - then they'll have to own it.

the old must be dispensed with b4 we can have the new... is what it's looking like to me...

the left may destroy all the good things about our country... and then later regret they did... bc it may be re-built... in a way the Founders planned...

we can pray...

What you are describing is not at all possible in our system.
That would require people voting for every bill instead of representatives.

You must have slept through the entirety of American Government in high school.
