And the more people within that given society distrust each other, the more people will take over that view in return. That is the starting point where societies start moving to the bottom. Also a little reminder of history, when you look for actual root causes for the developments you warn about. It simply does not work out if you see bad people all around.

Being on this forum the last few months has been a real eye-opener. I've been really shocked at the attitudes of so many of the Americans on here.

It seems that American society is very dangerously fragmented and volatile. Everyone seems to feel threatened. Seems to be a picture of a society losing cohesion and slowly disintegrating.

Maybe not surprising given that the U.S. right has been edging ever further into la-la land paranoia, fuelled by Fox news and a wide array of shock jocks.

God help us all.
