Agreed.
Unfortunately, those opposing the march to tyranny seem to be as lacking in education. :-/
Can we recover?
We could be brutally scientific observers in outer space and note:
This particular group of human beings appears to be in the throes of self-destruction. We have observed that young, fertile males are being sent to war on behalf of other tribes. Other non-warrior males & females of reproductive age are mating with same sex partners and thus not procreating. Females of the species are preventing conception or killing in uteri. Post breeding parents,male & female are abandoning their young to outside nurturers, tribal leaders and assorted non-breeding influences.
This phenomenon has been chronicled in pre-historic creatures with less brain mass. Surprising in a species with so much creativity and survival capacity.
