We are a nation of fleeing people and those following and pursuing them. When there’s no place left for the Pursued to flee, maybe then the separation will happen. Unless the Pursued are such a small group by then, there won’t be anything they can do.
It’s the fight or flight syndrome.
For most flight in most cases is the easier choice. So you keep “flighting” until there’s no more place to flight to. At which point you either fight or surrender.
We’re getting close to that point.
