We may be coming at this from different perspectives. While they were growing up, I taught my daughters that major problems aren't caused by any one thing--look for at least three, and then tackle each one by one. Remember, they may be more, but here are three problems I see that may be contributing not just to the mobs, but also those behind the mobs.Polarized conformity.
I'll ask again, and explain if You can if that's inappropriate,
but what spiritual void does it feel in the story of the American society?
Where lies the need to overcompensate in such polarizing manner?
1. No accountability for our elite political leaders. Examples: Susan Rice, under the direction of the sitting President, went on TV and outright lied to America and all nations that the murders in Benghazi were because of a video. No one ever called her into account. Meanwhile, the Secretary of State who was ultimately responsible for the mess, fled to South America for a vacation because of recurring headaches. Everyone, of course, left her alone. Later when legitimate authorities wanted her emails, she destroyed them all. No matter. She wasn't held to account for that either. Then, it takes FOUR YEARS of investigating before someone is charged with changing an email for political benefit. Meanwhile, the rest of us were expected to pay fines for things as small as parking violations or face even bigger penalties. We certainly don't have four years before the law gets around to charging us.
2. Pharmaceuticals. I haven't been to a doctor in thirty years. The last time I went I had an ear infection and knew I needed antibiotics to get it to clear. I told the doctor the problem, and that I also reacted badly even to over-the-counter products. I wanted the mildest antibiotic possible (and yes, even with this I had to endure the rash). He did not even bother to look into my ears, wrote the prescription and then immediately began to give me samples of new products that were shortly due to become over-the-counter medicines to help with my symptoms. This woke me up to what was going on all around me: People going to the doctor or Emergency Room for colds, for sprains, minor aches and pains--and pharmaceutical advertising for any and all kinds of physical problems. Drug pushers for everything. They got rich while our health (most of which can be cared for on our own with proper diet and exercise) got worse. Medicine wasn't satisfied. They wanted more money, and since not all people could afford this, they simply pushed the government to herd them their way and pay the bills.
3. Family division through divorce (or not marrying at all) and abortion and both parents working. Children shuttled off to day care. There is one foundational cause for all of this, and it is actually covered quite well in the final chapters of Genesis. How can we tell when a society is starting to crumble? Instead of sexual discipline, it becomes very loose and undisciplined. It is no longer sex within the boundaries of marriage, there are no boundaries, which of course leads to unwanted pregnancies and abortion. Unfortunately, the past reveals that all societies when faced with a choice of returning to sexual discipline and saving their society, all chose unbridled sex over what was best for the community. So, we are doomed. The past has been written and therefore, so has our future.
The spiritual void comes from ignoring the First Commandment of God is first. He is before political gain, He is before wealth, He is before what self wants personally. The spiritual void is then widened when our fellow man (families, neighbors, colleagues) become secondary to self. So what if day care is not the best option for children...self wants a career. So what if after a divorce children are shuttled between parents because each parent wants his/her own place. (Why don't children get their own place and the parents do the shuttling?)
What void are they trying to fill? They want to fill their emptiness with a higher power. With no belief in God, a dictator becomes acceptable. They want someone to care for them. With uncaring neighbors, opt for a government who says it will take care of them.
(After all of this, aren't you sorry you asked my opinion? )
Thank You for the input, not at all sorry, asked because sincerely wanted Your opinion.
Only I understand we naturally view things in a different mentality.
Now how do You explain this -
Israel after being established by sworn socialists - is progressively conservative.
America founded on 'Judeo-Christian' values - is progressively socialist?
Aren't our Marxists the same?
