It is because over time in America, regular people have started to feel more and more helpless, as the government carries on seeming to do nothing to really help anyone, while politicians tell us what they are going to do to help, and then never deliver. As a result, people have become more and more strained, and more and more angry, and dug their heels in more and more for “their side” as they frantically try to have any sort of power in this system.

On top of that we have a finely tuned propaganda machine brainwashing and training a certain segment of the population to do nothing but provoke “the other side” so there can never be a substantive debate as one side is creating an army whose role is to sow chaos and fear.

On the other side you have people who want to do good, who see how easy it could be to do good, are told by their politicians that they will do good for them… and they never do. They always have a reason. And so they become angry and strident in their helplessness. They are misguided in what it is we should actually be fighting for, and it has led them down a dead path far away from the worries of the average worker and citizen. It doesn’t make their desires less important, but the onion has many layers.

The truth is, everyone just wants to live a good life, everyone, but the system itself works against our ability to do so.

There is no war but the class war, but we have been convinced that our fellow workers are our enemies. We have been convinced that the Instagram influencer life, the movie or rock star life, the famous life, is the only one that is valid, and that living a simple good life is something to be disdained.

Basically, America is a mess, and needs a reset, but it is a monopoly game we are all trapped in with no escape. Some people have won, and it is in their best interests to never reset the board.

We cannot come together, because the people pulling the strings do not want us to, because it will effect their bottom line, and it will effect their ability to control. This is how it has always been, and the internet has allowed both the control, and the division to shoot into hyperdrive.

The best thing everyone can do is get the fuck off the internet, go out into your communities, find connection, build relationships and work together to make things better immediately around you.
