Half the population are essentially thought criminals who have to watch their words and never know what innocuous statement might lead to their depersoning (actually more than half since even the moderate left now routinely gets targeted). The other half have been weaponized as informers, street thugs and other vigilante enforcers of leftism. Add in social media induced social retardation, growing mental illness/neuroticism, the complete destruction of social cohesion and increasing friction along ethnic/religious/geographic/political fault lines and you have a recipe for a lot of really miserable, angry people who don't get along well with each other.</p></blockquote><p></p>
