Here is my opinion.

Fear, frustration, and anxiety creates insecurities which leads to anger, hate, and violence.

People in positions of power, (politicians, big business, and royalty) use these emotions against their own citizens by pitting demographics against each other using prejudice and racism to elicit fear and direct attention away from themselves for their own benefit.

It's called divide and conquer.

These egotistical greedy people will continue to use these methods to attain and maintain their wealth, power, and control by creating waring factions between demographics at home and abroad. It's a method that has been used for thousands of years and will continue to be used because it is effective in getting them what they want.

We live and have always lived in societies built upon pyramid schemes, where we have allowed people to attain the power to control our lives and actions. Governments create the problems then watch and use the fallout to gain more control, power, and wealth.

Think about it. Who suffers in wars, mass shootings, and riots?

The solution?

Well... it isn't overthrowing the government and replacing it with a new one. History has shown it has been done over and over again with the same end results.

We have to find a new way. A society that values each person equally? Will our own egos allow it? Is it possible to eliminate greed?

Is it audacious to think that humans are the end product of evolution?

It certainly would help to save a whole lot of children's lives.

If the US people -- the children havers and the children shooters -- instead of competing, would cooperate and both stop, . . . .

What could not be more like what the maga death cult is being spoon feed daily on Fox networks!!!

Congratulations! You have just become as cynical as I am.

Makes more sense!
