Are some of our societal problems self inflicted?

Respect used to be a common courtesy that one extended towards an elder or authority figure. Some things aren't as common as they used to be... like common sense.

not self inflicted cause i don't have any kids and i sure as hell didn't make myself..

Fact of the matter is : people suck, there's to many of them and civilization is just a wafer thin layer that is maintained with a good economy..
eg if everybody is fatNhappy nobody will cause to much trouble...


It's no surprise the corona lockdown is followed by unrest and riots..
A lot of people have seen a major decrease in income..while at the same time food and other daily costs rose.

The divide between haves and havenotes grew massively in a very short period.. and it's world wide.
And if it keeps up, it will somehow develop in some kind of war somewhere. The US seems to be the hotspot this time..
US elections are normally a trigger for bad juju, heated debate and mudslinging.. Which added to an already primed powderkeg is not a good thing..

It's really a time to step back and let calm reasoning take priority over angry voices... But that seems unlikely to me.
